Rosiglitazone maleate is a potent and selective activator of PPARγ, with EC50s of 30 nM and 100 nM for PPARγ1 and PPARγ2, respectively, and a Kd of appr 40 nM for PPARγ. Rosiglitazone (BRL49653, 0.1, 1,10 μM) promotes differentiation of C3H10T1/2 stem cells to adipocytes. Rosiglitazone (Compound 6) activates PPARγ, with an EC50 of 60 nM. Rosiglitazone (1 μM) activates PPARγ, which binds to NF-α1 promoter to activate gene transcription in neurons. Rosiglitazone (1 μM) also protects Neuro2A cells and hippocampal neurons against oxidative stress, and up-regulates BCL-2 expression in an NF-α1-dependent manner. Rosiglitazone completely inhibits TRPM3 with IC50 values of 9.5 and 4.6 μM against nifedipine- and PregS-evoked activity, but such effects are not via PPARγ. Rosiglitazone inhibits TRPM2 at higher concentration, with an IC50 of appr 22.5 μM. Rosiglitazone is a strong stimulator of TRPC5 channels, with an EC50 of ~30 μM.
