Rosiglitazone maleate

Rosiglitazone Maleate is the maleate salt of rosiglitazone, an orally-active thiazolidinedione with antidiabetic properties and potential antineoplastic activity. Rosiglitazone activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma), a ligand-activated transcription factor, thereby inducing cell differentiation and inhibiting cell growth and angiogenesis. This agent also modulates the transcription of insulin-responsive genes, inhibits macrophage and monocyte activation, and stimulates adipocyte differentiation. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Hypoglycemics and Thiazolidinediones. Its therapeutic use is listed as antidiabetic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Avandia, Venvia and Nyracta. Its PubChem CID is 5281055.
