Scientific Background | Rosiglitazone Maleate is a high-affinity agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), with an EC50 of 43 nM. While primarily developed as an insulin sensitizer for type 2 diabetes, Rosiglitazone has gained attention in neurodegenerative disease research, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. Activation of PPARγ has been shown to modulate neuroinflammation, enhance mitochondrial function, and improve insulin signaling in the brain—factors implicated in cognitive decline. Rosiglitazone has demonstrated the ability to rescue memory deficits in preclinical Alzheimer’s models, positioning it as a candidate for therapeutic repurposing. Its dual role in metabolic regulation and neuroprotection makes it a valuable compound in the study of neurodegeneration and brain insulin resistance. |
