1. Four new metabolites of pioglitazone were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) as being formed by hydroxylation (M-VII and M-VIII), opening of the thiazolidinedione ring (M-X) and by desaturation of the terminal ethyl side chain or tether ethoxy moiety (M-IX), respectively. The structure of one of the hydroxylated metabolites (M-VII) was confirmed by chemical modification using the Jones reaction. 2. Oxidative cleavage of the thiazolidinedione ring is a novel pathway not previously reported for pioglitazone. 3. The hydroxylated M-VII was detected in incubations with rat, dog and human liver and kidney microsomes, and in plasma from rats and dogs dosed orally with [(3)H]pioglitazone. 4. The carboxylic acid derivative of M-VII (M-V) and its taurine conjugate were the major radioactive components in dog bile.

The oral administrated thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have been widely reported to alleviate experimental pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, previous studies mainly focused on their beneficial effects on the cardiopulmonary vascular system but failed to determine their potential roles on gut microenvironment. This study aims to investigate the effects of pioglitazone, an oral TZD drug, on gut microbiome in classic PH rat models induced by hypoxia (HPH) or SU5416/hypoxia (SuHx-PH) and evaluate the therapeutic potential of supplementation of selective probiotics for experimental PH.

Diabetes is known to increase the risk of kidney stones, but the influence of antidiabetic drugs on this risk remains uncertain. Genetic instruments for antidiabetic drugs were identified as variants, which were associated with both the expression of genes encoding target proteins of drugs and glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c). Here, we investigated the effect of antidiabetic drugs on kidney stones in a mendelian randomization (MR) framework, and further explore the potential effect on CaOx stone rat models induced by glyoxylic acid.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the genus Meliaceae, analyzing two species for their phytochemical content and anti-diabetic potential using advanced techniques like UPLC-ESI/MS and enzyme inhibition assays.
- Researchers identified 55 metabolites, with flavonoids being the most prevalent, and found that both species effectively inhibited enzymes related to diabetes, outperforming known medications.
- The findings suggest these species could be valuable sources of natural compounds for developing new treatments for diabetes.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of rosiglitazone (RSG) or pioglitazone (POG) on the synaptic plasticity, neuronal apoptosis, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites in the hippocampus of juvenile hypothyroid rats. The animals were divided into four groups: control; propylthiouracil (PTU), 0.05% dose in drinking water for 42 days; PTU-POG; and PTU-RSG.
