Uses

Rosiglitazone sodium is a potent and selective activator of PPARγ, with EC50s of 30 nM, 100 nM and 60 nM for PPARγ1, PPARγ2, and PPARγ, respectively, and a Kd of appr 40 nM for PPARγ; Rosiglitazone sodium is also an modulator of TRP channels, inhibits TRP melastatin 2 (TRPM2), TRPM3 and activates TRP canonical 5 (TRPC5).

in vivo

IC 50

PPARγ1: 30 nM (EC₅₀); PPARγ2: 100 nM (EC₅₀)
