Pioglitazone

Синонимы: Pioglitazone, U-72107A, AD-4833, (±)-5-[4-[2-(5-Ethyl-2-pyridinyl)ethoxy]benzyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione

Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione-class antidiabetic agent that has maintained a steady position in the type 2 diabetes market, particularly in combination regimens where insulin sensitization is needed. While newer drug classes have gained attention, pioglitazone remains relevant for its well-characterized efficacy, oral bioavailability, and cost-effectiveness in generic formulations.

Chemically, pioglitazone is a synthetic compound with the molecular formula C19H20N2O3S and a molecular weight of 356.44 g/mol. It acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist, improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. The compound is typically produced as the hydrochloride salt for pharmaceutical use, though the free base is also available for research and formulation development.

Our pioglitazone is manufactured under strict cGMP conditions and standardized to ≥99.0% purity by HPLC. It is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in organic solvents like DMSO and methanol but practically insoluble in water. This profile makes it suitable for oral solid dosage forms and a range of preclinical research applications.

Product Overview & Composition

Pioglitazone is a member of the thiazolidinedione class, structurally characterized by a 2,4-thiazolidinedione ring linked to a pyridine-ethyl-benzyl moiety. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is often used as the hydrochloride salt to enhance stability and solubility. The free base form is also available for specific research and formulation needs.

The compound is synthesized through a multi-step process that yields high-purity material suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Our production follows ICH guidelines, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance.
