Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 20 mg/mL (56.11 mM)
Water Insoluble
Ethanol Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
0.5mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 10 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
1.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 20 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Pioglitazone is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) agonist, used to treat diabetes; A weak activator for full-length hPPARα, but not full-length hPPARδ.
Targets
PPARγ [2]
In vitro

Pioglitazone is metabolised mainly by CYP2C8 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 in vitro. [1]
In vivo

Pioglitazone significantly attenuates left ventricular (LV) cavity dilatation and dysfunction by echocardiography as well as LV end-diastolic pressure in mice with extensive anterior myocardial infarction. Pioglitazone partially normalizes LV dP/dt(max) and dP/dt(min), indices of LV contractile function, which are significantly reduced in MI mice. [2]

Pioglitazone results in a reduced activation of microglia, reduced induction of iNOS-positive cells and less glial fibrillary acidic protein positive cells in both striatum and substantia nigra pars compacta of MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Pioglitazone almost completely blocks staining of TH-positive neurons for nitrotyrosine, a marker of NO-mediated cell damage. [3]

Pioglitazone (approximately 20 mg/kg/day) attenuates the MPTP-induced glial activation and prevents the dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) in MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease. [4]

Pioglitazone results in a reduction in the number of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes in the hippocampus and cortex of 10-month-old APPV717I transgenic mice. Pioglitazone treatment reduces the expression of the proinflammatory enzymes cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Pioglitazone decreases beta-secretase-1 (BACE1) mRNA and protein levels, and also a 27% reduction in the levels of soluble Abeta1-42 peptide. [5]
