Rosiglitazone is used as monotherapy or in combination with a sulfonylurea, metformin hydrochloride, or a sulfonylurea and metformin as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Rosiglitazone in fixed combination with metformin hydrochloride is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Rosiglitazone also is used in fixed combination with glimepiride as an adjunct to diet and exercise for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. /Included in US product label/

/EXPL THER/ 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)), an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I, has been widely used as a neurotoxin because it elicits a severe Parkinson's disease-like syndrome with elevation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and apoptotic death. Rosiglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist, has been known to show various non-hypoglycemic effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, and anti-apoptotic. In the present study, /the authors/ investigated the protective effects of rosiglitazone on MPP(+) induced cytotoxicity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, as well as underlying mechanism. /Their/ results suggested that the protective effects of rosiglitazone on MPP(+) induced apoptosis may be ascribed to its anti-oxidative properties, anti-apoptotic activity via inducing expression of SOD and catalase and regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax. These data indicated that rosiglitazone might provide a valuable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of progressive neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease.

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. Thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone, cause or exacerbate congestive heart failure in some patients. After initiation of Avandia, and after dose increases, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (including excessive, rapid weight gain; dyspnea; and/or edema). If these signs and symptoms develop, the heart failure should be managed according to current standards of care. Furthermore, discontinuation or dose reduction of Avandia must be considered. Avandia is not recommended in patients with symptomatic heart failure. Initiation of Avandia in patients with established NYHA Class III or IV heart failure is contraindicated.

Thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone, alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents, can cause fluid retention and may lead to or exacerbate congestive heart failure (CHF). Use of thiazolidinediones is associated with an approximately twofold increased risk of CHF. Patients should be observed for signs and symptoms of CHF (e.g., dyspnea, rapid weight gain, edema, unexplained cough or fatigue), especially during initiation of therapy and dosage titration. If signs and symptoms of CHF develop, the disorder should be managed according to current standards of care. In addition, a decrease in the dosage of rosiglitazone or discontinuance of the drug should be considered.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 3303
Thiazolidinedione use is associated with bone loss and fractures in women and possibly in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In long-term comparative clinical trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the incidence of bone fracture was increased in patients (particularly women) receiving rosiglitazone versus comparator agents (glyburide and/or metformin). Such effects were noted after the first year of treatment and persisted throughout the study. The majority of fractures observed in patients taking thiazolidinediones were in a distal upper limb (i.e., forearm, hand, wrist) or distal lower limb (i.e., foot, ankle, fibula, tibia). In an observational study in the United Kingdom in men and women (mean age: 60.7 years) with diabetes mellitus, use of pioglitazone or rosiglitazone for approximately 12-18 months (as estimated from prescription records) was associated with a twofold to threefold increase in fractures, particularly of the hip and wrist. The overall risk of fracture was similar among men and women and was independent of body mass index, comorbid conditions, diabetic complications, duration of diabetes mellitus, and use of other oral antidiabetic drugs.145 Risk of fractures should be considered when initiating or continuing thiazolidinedione therapy in female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Bone health should be assessed and maintained according to current standards of care. Although increased risk of fracture may also apply to men, the risk appears to be higher among women than men.

Because rosiglitazone requires endogenous insulin for activity, it should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Rosiglitazone is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
FDA Label
AVANDAMET is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, particularly overweight patients:
- who are unable to achieve sufficient glycaemic control at their maximally tolerated dose of oral metformin alone.
- in triple oral therapy with sulphonylurea in patients with insufficient glycaemic control despite dual oral therapy with their maximally tolerated dose of metformin and a sulphonylurea (see section 4. 4).
Rosiglitazone is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus:
as monotherapy
-in patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled by diet and exercise for whom metformin is inappropriate because of contraindications or intolerance
as dual oral therapy in combination with
-metformin, in patients (particularly overweight patients) with insufficient glycaemic control despite maximal tolerated dose of monotherapy with metformin
-a sulphonylurea, only in patients who show intolerance to metformin or for whom metformin is contraindicated, with insufficient glycaemic control despite monotherapy with a sulphonylurea
as triple oral therapy in combination with
-metformin and a sulphonylurea, in patients (particularly overweight patients) with insufficient glycaemic control despite dual oral therapy (see section 4. 4).
Rosiglitazone is indicated as oral monotherapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, particularly overweight patients, inadequately controlled by diet and exercise for whom metformin is inappropriate because of contraindications or intolerance.
Rosiglitazone is also indicated for oral combination treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with insufficient glycaemic control despite maximal tolerated dose of oral monotherapy with either metformin or a sulphonylurea:
- in combination with metformin particularly in overweight patients.
- in combination with a sulphonylurea only in patients who show intolerance to metformin or for whom metformin is contraindicated.

- in combination with a sulphonylurea only in patients who show intolerance to metformin or for whom metformin is contraindicated.
When rosiglitazone is used as monotherapy, it is associated with increases in total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL. It is also associated with decreases in free fatty acids. Increases in LDL occurred primarily during the first 1 to 2 months of therapy with AVANDIA and LDL levels remained elevated above baseline throughout the trials. In contrast, HDL continued to rise over time. As a result, the LDL/HDL ratio peaked after 2 months of therapy and then appeared to decrease over time.

Absorption
The absolute bioavailability of rosiglitazone is 99%. Peak plasma concentrations are observed about 1 hour after dosing. Administration of rosiglitazone with food resulted in no change in overall exposure (AUC), but there was an approximately 28% decrease in Cmax and a delay in Tmax (1.75 hours). These changes are not likely to be clinically significant; therefore, rosiglitazone may be administered with or without food. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the curve (AUC) of rosiglitazone increase in a dose-proportional manner over the therapeutic dose range.
Route of Elimination
Following oral or intravenous administration of [14C]rosiglitazone maleate, approximately 64% and 23% of the dose was eliminated in the urine and in the feces, respectively.
Volume of Distribution
17.6 L [oral volume of distribution Vss/F]

Severe forms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) adversely affect the liver physiology and hence the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Here, we investigated the effect of NAFLD on the pharmacokinetics of rosiglitazone, an insulin sensitizer used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into two groups. The first group (n=14) was fed with normal chow feed and the second group (n=14) was fed with 60% high-fat diet (HFD) and 40% high fructose liquid (HFL) for 60 days to induce NAFLD. The development of NAFLD was confirmed by histopathology, liver triglyceride levels and biochemical estimations, and used for pharmacokinetic investigations. Rosiglitazone was administered orally at 30 mg/kg dose. At predetermined time points, blood was collected and rosiglitazone concentrations were determined using LC/MS/MS. Plasma concentrations were subjected to non-compartmental analysis using Phoenix WinNonlin (6.3), and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was calculated by the linear-up log-down method. HFD and HFL diet successfully induced NAFLD in mice. Rosiglitazone pharmacokinetics in NAFLD animals were altered significantly as compared to healthy mice. Rosiglitazone exposure increased significantly in NAFLD mice (2.5-fold higher AUC than healthy mice). The rosiglitazone oral clearance was significantly lower and the mean plasma half-life was significantly longer in NAFLD mice as compared to healthy mice. The NAFLD mouse model showed profound effects on rosiglitazone pharmacokinetics. The magnitude of change in rosiglitazone pharmacokinetics is similar to that observed in humans with moderate to severe liver disease. The present animal model can be utilized to study the NAFLD-induced changes in the pharmacokinetics of different drugs.

Hepatic. Rosiglitazone is extensively metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites via N-demethylation, hydroxylation, and conjugation with sulfate and glucuronic acid. In vitro data have shown that Cytochrome (CYP) P450 isoenzyme 2C8 (CYP2C8) and to a minor extent CYP2C9 are involved in the hepatic metabolism of rosiglitazone.
The main metabolites observed in humans are also observed in rats; however, the clearance in rats was almost ten times higher than in humans, probably due to the higher levels of CYP2C in rat microsomes.

Rosiglitazone is extensively metabolized with no unchanged drug excreted in the urine. The major routes of metabolism were N-demethylation and hydroxylation, followed by conjugation with sulfate and glucuronic acid. All the circulating metabolites are considerably less potent than parent and, therefore, are not expected to contribute to the insulin-sensitizing activity of rosiglitazone.

Rosiglitazone acts as a highly selective and potent agonist at peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR) in target tissues for insulin action such as adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver. Activation of PPAR-gamma receptors regulates the transcription of insulin-responsive genes involved in the control of glucose production, transport, and utilization. In this way, rosiglitazone enhances tissue sensitivity to insulin.
Because osteoblasts and marrow adipocytes are derived from a common mesenchymal progenitor, increased adipogenesis may occur at the expense of osteoblasts, leading to bone loss. Our previous in vitro studies indicated that activation of the proadipogenic transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor isoform gamma 2 with rosiglitazone suppressed osteoblast differentiation. Here, we show that 5-month-old Swiss-Webster mice receiving rosiglitazone for 28 day exhibited bone loss associated with an increase in marrow adipocytes, a decrease in the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts, a reduction in bone formation rate, and a reduction in wall width--an index of the amount of bone formed by each team of osteoblasts. Rosiglitazone had no effect on the number of early osteoblast or osteoclast progenitors, or on osteoblast life span, but decreased the expression of the key osteoblastogenic transcription factors Runx2 and Osterix in cultures of marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitors. These effects were associated with diversion of bipotential progenitors from the osteoblast to the adipocyte lineage, and suppression of the differentiation of monopotential osteoblast progenitors. However, rosiglitazone had no effect on osteoblastic cells at later stages of differentiation. Hence, rosiglitazone attenuates osteoblast differentiation and thereby reduces bone formation rate in vivo, leading to bone loss. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the recent evidence that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor isoform gamma activation is a negative regulator of bone mass and suggest that the increased production of oxidized fatty acids with age may indeed be an important mechanism for age-related osteoporosis in humans.

Brain peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors, is involved in neuroprotection. It is activated by the drug rosiglitazone, which then can increase the pro-survival protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), to mediate neuroprotection. However, the mechanism underlying this molecular cascade remains unknown. Here, we show that the neuroprotective protein neurotrophic factor-a1 (NF-a1), which also induces the expression of BCL-2, has a promoter that contains PPARgamma-binding sites that are activated by rosiglitazone. Treatment of Neuro2a cells and primary hippocampal neurons with rosiglitazone increased endogenous NF-a1 expression and prevented H2 O2 -induced cytotoxicity. Concomitant with the increase in NF-a1, BCL-2 was also increased in these cells. When siRNA against NF-a1 was used, the induction of BCL-2 by rosiglitazone was prevented, and the neuroprotective effect of rosiglitazone was reduced. These results demonstrate that rosiglitazone-activated PPARgamma directly induces the transcription of NF-a1, contributing to neuroprotection in neurons. We proposed the following cascade for neuroprotection against oxidative stress by rosiglitazone: Rosiglitazone enters the neuron and binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) in the nucleus. The PPARgamma-rosiglitazone complex binds to the neurotrophic factor-a1 (NF-a1) promoter and activates the transcription of NF-a1 mRNA which is then translated to the protein. NF-a1 is the secreted, binds to a cognate receptor and activates the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) pathway. This in turn enhances the expression of the pro-survival protein, B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) and inhibition of caspase 3 (Csp-3) to mediate neuroprotection under oxidative stress. Akt, protein kinase B (PKB).

Rosiglitazone, a member of the thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic agents, improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity. Rosiglitazone is a highly selective and potent agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma). In humans, PPAR receptors are found in key target tissues for insulin action such as adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver. Activation of PPARgamma nuclear receptors regulates the transcription of insulin-responsive genes involved in the control of glucose production, transport, and utilization. In addition, PPARgamma- responsive genes also participate in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism

Rosiglitazone acts principally by increasing insulin sensitivity in target tissues, as well as decreasing hepatic gluconeogenesis. Rosiglitazone is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorgamma (PPARgamma) agonist that increases transcription of insulin-responsive genes and increases insulin sensitivity. Rosiglitazone, like other thiazolidinediones, ameliorates insulin resistance associated with type diabetes mellitus without stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, thus avoiding the risk of hypoglycemia. Because rosiglitazone does not lower glucose concentrations below euglycemia, the drug is appropriately referred to as an antidiabetic agent rather than a hypoglycemic agent. Some evidence suggests that the glucoregulatory effects of thiazolidinediones are mediated in part via reduced systemic and tissue lipid availability. Circulating concentrations of insulin and C-peptide are reduced during rosiglitazone therapy.
