Product Description
Potent and selective PPARγ ligand. Binds to the PPARγ ligand-binding domain and recruits ligand-specific transcriptional coactivators at 1µM [1]. In skeletal muscle and adipocyte cell cultures, the EC50 of troglitazone is about 10µM [2].

General Information
BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION Troglitazone is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, troglitazone should first be dissolved in DMSO and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Troglitazone has a solubility of 100µg/ml in a 1:6 solution of DMSO:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.

Product Description
Pioglitazone selectively activates PPARγ-1. It is about one tenth as potent as rosiglitazone (EC50~500nM for human and mouse PPARγ). In a transactivation assay using COS-1 cells transfected with full length human PPARα and RXRα, pioglitazone and rosiglitazone exhibit low level activation of PPARα at 1µM and 5.4- and 4.2-fold activation, respectively, at a concentration of 10µM.

Not sold in the US.

General Information
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a group of structurally related PPARγ agonists with anti-diabetic actions in vivo. Rosiglitazone (Prod. No. ALX-350-103) is a prototypical TZD and has served as a reference compound for this class of PPARγ ligands.
