General description

2,4-Thiazolidinedione is a well-known peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) activator. Its effect on aging process using kidneys from Fischer 344 rats has been reported. A library of conjugates of 2,4-thiazolidinedione has been synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation followed by reduction using hydrogen gas and Pd/C catalyst. Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic aldehydes with 2,4-thiazolidinedione in polyethylene glycol-300 has been reported.

Application

2,4-Thiazolidinedione may be used in the synthesis of sixteen 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones, via ultrasound-promoted aldol condensation reaction. It may be used as starting material for the synthesis of drugs with antihyperglycemic activity.

Administration of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligands, thiazolidinediones (TZD), to prepartum dairy cattle has been shown to improve dry matter intake and decrease circulating nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) around the time of calving. The objective of this work was

This study aimed to analyze the association of thiazolidinedione (TZD)-related edema with genetic and clinical variables and develop a simple points system to predict the risk of developing TZD-related edema. Fifty-eight (21.6%) of 268 individuals who received TZD for type

Background Thiazolidinediones (rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) are oral insulin-sensitizing medications used in type 2 diabetes mellitus that reduce glucose with minimal risk of hypoglycemia and potential benefits on atherosclerosis. However, thiazolidinediones can cause fluid retention thereby increasing the risk of heart failure-a

PPARγ agonists [thiazolidinediones (TZDs)] are known to exert anti-fibrotic effects in the kidney. In addition, we previously demonstrated that sphingosine kinase 1 (SK-1) and intracellular sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), by reducing the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), have a protective

We present a new class of inhibitors of pancreatic cholesterol esterase (CEase) based on 'priviledged' 5-benzylidenerhodanine and 5-benzylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione structural scaffolds. The lead structures (5-benzylidenerhodanine 4a and 5-benzylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione 4b) were identified in an in-house screening and these inhibited CEase with some
