Description

Application

Ciglitizone has been used as a proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist:

• to study its effects on cell proliferation in human melanocytes
• to study its effects on pigmentation and migration of human melanocytes

It also may be used to study its effects on cell cycle and apoptosis in monocytic cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ciglitizone belongs to the class of thiazolidinediones and is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist. It exhibits anti-diabetic activity. Ciglitizone has the potential to treat tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-refractory high-grade urothelial cancers.
