Product Description: Azemiglitazone (MSDC-0602) is an orally active thiazolidinedione (TZD) -like molecule, which binds to PPARγ with low binding and activating affinity. Azemiglitazone inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), which inhibits Alzheimer’s disease and diminishes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) caused liver injury[4][5].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C19H17NO5S
