Notes: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is the nuclear receptor responsible for transducing the therapeutic activity of the thiazolidinediones (TZDs). TZDs are a group of structurally related synthetic PPARγ agonists with antidiabetic actions in vivo.{7575,8224} Rosiglitazone is a prototypical TZD and has served as a reference compound for this class.{8241} There are many PPARγ agonists, including 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 and azelaoyl PAF, which are naturally derived.{8461,8930} However, only a few antagonists have been reported.{8953} GW 9662 blocks the PPARγ-induced differentiation of monocytes to osteoclasts by >90% at a dose of 0.1 µM.{9318} It is therefore a much more potent antagonist than BADGE, which is another reported PPARγ antagonist.{9318}
