Notes: Troglitazone is a selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ; EC50s = 0.78 and 0.55 μM for the mouse and human receptors, respectively, in a transactivation assay).{10670} It is selective for PPARγ over PPARα and PPARδ, at which it is inactive at concentrations up to 10 μM. Troglitazone (500 mg/kg twice per day) exhibits antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic properties in Zucker diabetic fatty rats, reducing plasma glucose and triglyceride levels by 61 and 87% respectively.{25251} It also induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase in SK-HEP-1 and Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma cells when used at a concentration of 10 μM and increases apoptosis in these cells at concentrations of 30 μM and higher.{10669}
