pioglitazone and Astrocytoma, Grade IV

pioglitazone has been researched along with Astrocytoma, Grade IV in 6 studies

Pioglitazone: A thiazolidinedione and PPAR GAMMA agonist that is used in the treatment of TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS.
pioglitazone : A member of the class of thiazolidenediones that is 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione substituted by a benzyl group at position 5 which in turn is substituted by a 2-(5-ethylpyridin-2-yl)ethoxy group at position 4 of the phenyl ring. It exhibits hypoglycemic activity.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A phase II trial was initiated to analyze the activity of continuously administered pioglitazone and rofecoxib combined with low-dose chemotherapy (capecitabine or temozolomide) in patients with high-grade gliomas (glioblastoma or anaplastic glioma)."5.12Low-dose chemotherapy in combination with COX-2 inhibitors and PPAR-gamma agonists in recurrent high-grade gliomas - a phase II study. ( Baumgart, U; Bogdahn, U; Hau, P; Hirschmann, B; Kunz-Schughart, L; Muhleisen, H; Reichle, A; Ruemmele, P; Steinbrecher, A; Weimann, E, 2007)
"Furthermore, treatment of fresh glioblastoma tissue from patients with PGZ, either alone or in combination with ATRA, induced a significant level of tumor cell apoptosis together with a downregulation of bcl-2 protein level as compared with untreated control brain tissue."1.32Ligands for PPARgamma and RAR cause induction of growth inhibition and apoptosis in human glioblastomas. ( Black, KL; Elstner, E; Fenner, MH; Koeffler, HP; Liu, H; Posch, MG; Possinger, K; Stadelmann, C; von Deimling, A; Wächter, M; Zang, C, 2003)
