Rosiglitazone(罗格列酮)
Monoisotopic: 357.114712179
Rosiglitazone is an anti-diabetic drug in the thiazolidinedione class of drugs. It is marketed by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline as a stand-alone drug (Avandia) and in combination with metformin (Avandamet) or with glimepiride (Avandaryl).
Like other thiazolidinediones, the mechanism of action of rosiglitazone is by activation of the intracellular receptor class of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), specifically PPARγ. Rosiglitazone is a selective ligand of PPARγ, and has no PPARα-binding action.
Apart from its effect on insulin resistance, it appears to have an anti-inflammatory effect: nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB) levels fall and inhibitor (IκB) levels increase in patients on rosiglitazone.
Recent research has suggested that rosiglitazone may also be of benefit to a subset of patients with Alzheimer’s disease not expressing the ApoE4 allele. This is the subject of a clinical trial currently underway.

Pharmacodynamics | Rosiglitazone, a member of the drug group known as the thiazolidinediones or "insulin sensitizers", is not chemically or functionally related to the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, the biguanides, or the sulfonylureas. Rosiglitazone targets insulin resistance and, hence, is used alone or with metformine or sulfonylurea to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mechanism of action | Rosiglitazone acts as an agonist at peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR) in target tissues for insulin action such as adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver. Activation of PPAR-gamma receptors regulates the transcription of insulin-responsive genes involved in the control of glucose production, transport, and utilization. In this way, rosiglitazone enhances tissue sensitivity to insulin. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Absorption | The absolute bioavailability of rosiglitazone is 99%. Peak plasma concentrations are observed about 1 hour after dosing. Administration of rosiglitazone with food resulted in no change in overall exposure (AUC), but there was an approximately 28% decrease in Cmax and a delay in Tmax (1.75 hours). These changes are not likely to be clinically significant; therefore, rosiglitazone may be administered with or without food. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Protein binding | 99.8% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Metabolism |
Hepatic. Rosiglitazone is extensively metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites via N-demethylation, hydroxylation, and conjugation with sulfate and glucuronic acid. In vitro data have shown that Cytochrome (CYP) P450 isoenzyme 2C8 (CYP2C8) and to a minor extent CYP2C9 are involved in the hepatic metabolism of rosiglitazone.

Avanafil | Co-administration with avanafil resulted in an approximate 2.0% increase in AUC0-inf and 14% decrease in Cmax of rosiglitazone. |
Colesevelam | Bile Acid Sequestrants may decrease the absorption of Antidiabetic Agents (Thiazolidinedione). Separate the dosing of bile acid sequestrants and thiazolidinediones by at least 2 hours. Monitor for reduced effects of the antidiabetic agents. |
Gemfibrozil | Increases the effect and toxicity of rosiglitazone/pioglitazone |
Ketoconazole | Ketoconazole increases the effect of rosiglitazone |
Rifampin | Rifampin reduces levels and efficacy of rosiglitazone |
Somatropin recombinant | Somatropin may antagonize the hypoglycemic effect of rosiglitazone. Monitor for changes in fasting and postprandial blood sugars. |
Tretinoin | The moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor, Rosiglitazone, may decrease the metabolism and clearance of oral Tretinoin. Monitor for changes in Tretinoin effectiveness and adverse/toxic effects if Rosiglitazone is initiated, discontinued to dose changed. |
