Article Abstract

The new chemical entity (NCE) has been knocked as novel antidiabetic agent, e.g. Saroglitazar. Saroglitazar is a drug for the treatment of Type II diabetes. Saroglitazar is marketed under the trade name Lipaglyn, developed by the Zydus Cadila. Lipaglyn is the first indigenously developed NCE by any Indian pharmaceutical company, ever. Lipaglyn has been approved for the treatment of Type II diabetes by the Drug Controller General of India in June 2013. Lipaglyn is indicated for the patients suffering from diabetes dyslipidemia. It also provides the option of a once-daily oral therapy. Saroglitazar regulates the lipid parameters as well as glycemic control. The present article describes Saroglitazar with its chemical synthesis and patent status with its summary of clinical studies.

Rationale: Hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity are significant adverse effects caused in cancer patients treated with 5-Flurouracil (5-FU), a pyrimidine analogue anti-metabolite anticancer drug. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of PPAR α/γ agonist (Saroglitazar; SARO) on 5-FU-induced hepatorenal damage in rats.

Methods: Male rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control, 5-FU, 5-FU + SARO (2 mg/kg), and 5-FU + SARO (4 mg/kg).

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have emerged as a promising target for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders. Studies have shown that both PPAR α & γ individually modulate various pathophysiological events like neuroinflammation and insulin resistance, which are known to variedly affect neurogenesis. Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of saroglitazar (SGZR), a dual PPAR agonist, on adult neurogenesis and spatial learning and memory, in intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV STZ)-induced dementia in rats.

This study aimed to evaluate the possible ameliorative effects of saroglitazar (SAR) on aspects of hepatic injury in dexamethasone (DEX)-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in rats. Wistar rats received SAR (2 or 4 mg/kg/day, orally) or metformin (MET, 500 mg/kg/day, orally) for one week before and concurrently with DEX administration (8 mg/kg/day, i.p.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent and progressive neurodegenerative disorders, hallmarked by increased amyloid-β deposition and enhanced oxidative load in the brain, ensuing cognitive decline. The present study is aimed at elucidating the neuroprotective effect of saroglitazar, a dual peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα/γ) agonist used in the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia, against memory impairment induced by intraperitoneal scopolamine injection. 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following five groups: (A) Veh + Veh, (B) SGZ + Veh, (C) Veh + SCOP, (D) DPZ + SCOP, and (E) SGZ + SCOP.

Antidiabetic drugs that have a secondary pharmacological effect on angiogenesis inhibition may help diabetic patients delay or avoid comorbidities caused by angiogenesis including malignancies. In recent studies, saroglitazar has exhibited antiangiogenic effects in diabetic retinopathy. The current study investigates the antiangiogenic effects of saroglitazar utilizing the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and then identifies its precise mode of action on system-level protein networks.
