CAS 111025-46-8: Pioglitazone
Description:Pioglitazone is an antidiabetic medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the thiazolidinedione class of drugs, which function as agonists of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). This mechanism enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle and adipose tissue, thereby improving glucose uptake and utilization. Pioglitazone is typically administered orally and is often prescribed in conjunction with other antidiabetic agents. The substance is characterized by its chemical formula, which includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, and it exhibits a relatively high lipophilicity, influencing its absorption and distribution in the body. Common side effects may include weight gain, edema, and an increased risk of heart failure, necessitating careful patient monitoring. Additionally, pioglitazone has been associated with potential risks of bladder cancer, leading to specific recommendations regarding its use. Overall, pioglitazone plays a significant role in diabetes management, particularly for patients who are insulin-resistant.
