MCC-555 is a thiazolidinedione class anti-diabetic compound.
MCC-555 is a thiazolidinedione class anti-diabetic compound. In rodent models, MCC-555 attenuates the development of diabetes, maintains B-cell function and improves insulin sensitivity. The compound MCC-555 also inhibits proliferation of several cancer cell lines and reduces tumor growth in xenograft models.

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) gamma is a nuclear receptor involved primarily in lipid and glucose metabolism. PPARgamma is also expressed in several cancer types, and has been suggested to play a role in tumor progression. PPARgamma agonists have been
Freshly isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes have been used to characterize the action profile of the new thiazolidinedione antidiabetic drug MCC-555. Preincubation of cells with the compound (100 microM for 30 min or 10 microM for 2 h) did not
MCC-555 is a novel thiazolidinedione which reduces plasma glucose concentrations in Type 2 diabetes mellitus models due to enhancement of insulin sensitivity. A highly sensitive and selective quantitative method to accurately determine MCC-555 in rat plasma is crucial to the
Novel compounds having a dual pharmacophore were synthesised and evaluated for their insulin sensitiser and anti-inflammatory properties in different animal models.

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) constitute an exciting new class of antidiabetic compounds, which function as activating ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). Until now, there has been an excellent correlation between in vivo hypoglycemic potency and in vitro binding and activation
