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.

MCC-555 is a novel PPARα/γ dual ligand of the thiazolidinedione class and was recently developed as an anti-diabetic drug with unique properties. MCC-555 also has anti-proliferative activity through growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in several cancer cell types. Our group
Histone deacetylase-inhibitors affect growth and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells by inducing expression of several transcription factors, e.g. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) or vitamin D receptor (VDR). While activation of VDR by butyrate mainly seems to be responsible for

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

1. Young (6-week-old) pre-diabetic Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats displaying impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), moderate hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia were treated with the novel thiazolidinedione, MCC-555, for 28 days, during which time beta-cell failure and progression to overt diabetes occurs. 2.

Apoptosis and/or differentiation induction caused by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) ligand is a promising approach to cancer therapy. The thiazolidinedione derivative MCC-555 has an apoptotic activity in human colorectal cancer cells, accompanied by up-regulation of a proapoptotic nonsteroidal
