Troglitazone (TGZ), a thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic agent, causes serious idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity. TGZ is metabolized into reactive metabolites that covalently bind to cellular macromolecules, one of which is oxidation at the chromane ring, a unique structure of TGZ, and another involves oxidative cleavage of the thiazolidinedione ring, a structure common to less hepatotoxic antidiabetics, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. TGZ is cytotoxic to HepG2 cells and rat and human hepatocytes.
