Pioglitazone HCl (AD-4833, U-72107E) is an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C8 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Pioglitazone HCl inhibits CYP2C8, CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 with Ki of 1.7 μM, 11.8 μM and 32.1 μM, respectively. Pioglitazone HCl is also a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) agonist with EC50 of 0.93 μM and 0.99 μM for human PPARγ and mouse PPARγ, respectively. Pioglitazone HCl inhibits mitochondrial iron uptake, lipid peroxidation, and subsequent ferroptosis.

In vitro
In vitro	Pioglitazone inhibits LPS-induced iNOS expression and NO generation, and inhibition of iNOS is sufficient to protect dopaminergic neurons against LPS insult. Pioglitazone protects dopaminergic neurons against LPS insult at least via inhibiting iNOS expression and NO generation, which is potentially mediated via inhibition of p38 MAPK activity. Pioglitazone inhibits LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. ^[1]

In Vivo
In vivo	Pioglitazone administered orally (0.3-3 mg/kg/d for 7 days) dose dependently reduces hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia in male fatty rats. Pioglitazone improves glucose tolerance and augmentes the glycemic response to exogenous insulin and clearance of plasma triglyceride in rats. ^[2] Pioglitazone-treated transgenic mice reveals improved muscle strength and body weight, exhibits a delayed disease onset, and survives significantly longer than nontreated SOD1-G93A mice. ^[3] Pioglitazone markedly decreases hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and glucoseintolerance characterized as insulin resistant states in these rats and mice. Pioglitazone potentiates insulin-mediated glucose metabolism in the diaphragm and adipose tissues of yellow KK mice and enhanced the glycemic response to exogenous insulin in Zucker fatty rats. ^[4] Pioglitazone results in a reduction in the number of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes in the hippocampus and cortex of APPV717I transgenic mice. Pioglitazone decreases beta-secretase-1 (BACE1) mRNA and protein levels in APPV717I transgenic mice. ^[5]
