Rosiglitazone maleate (BRL 49653C, Rosiglitazone XR, Avandia)

Same activities as rosaglitazone but different formulation Antidiabetic, hypoglycemic agent. Potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist. Potent insulin sensitizing agent binding to the PPAR receptors in fat cells and making the cells more responsive to insulin. Ameliorates insulin resistance. Improves blood pressure and vascular function. Enhances proliferation of endogenous neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Anti-inflammatory compound. Has controversial therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nShort-term Storage: +4 degrees C\nLong-term Storage: +4 degrees C\nStable for at least 2 years after receipt when stored at +4 degrees C. Stock solutions are stable for at least 3 months when stored at -20 degrees C.
