Use of Darglitazone

Darglitazone (CP-86325), a thiazolidinedione, is a potent, selective, and orally active PPAR-γ agonist. Darglitazone is effective in controlling blood glucose and lipid metabolism, and can be used for type II diabetes research[1].

Target	PPAR-γ
In Vitro	In cell lines representing white (3T3-L1 and 3T3-F442A) and brown (HIB-1B) adipose tissues and skeletal muscle (L6), within 4 h of exposing these cells to 30 μM Darglitazone, there is an increase in uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) mRNA which reached a plateau of 5-10 times the basal in about 8 h. Darglitazone can stimulate the expression of UCP2 gene probably via PPAR-γ[2].
In Vivo	Darglitazone treatment restores euglycemia and normalized elevated corticosterone, triglycerides, and very-low-density lipoprotein levels. Darglitazone dramatically reduces the infarct size in the ob/ob mice at 24 h of recovery. Darglitazone treatment restores acute cerebral inflammatory responses that were absent in the diabetic mice and profoundly improved their recovery from hypoxic-ischemic (H/I) insult[1]. Animal Model: Male diabetic ob/ob mice[1] Dosage: 1 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration; daily; for 7 days Result: Normalized blood glucose and reduced circulating triglycerides (TG) and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) in diabetic ob/ob mice without having any effect in the nondiabetic mice.
