Lobeglitazone Sulfate (CKD-501) is a thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic agent acting as a potent agonist for both PPARα and PPARγ, working as an insulin sensitizer by binding to the PPAR receptors in fat cells and making the cells more responsive to insulin.
| Targets |
strong>Lobeglitazone is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist [1] [4]
PPARγ (EC50 = 137.4 nM); PPARα (EC50 = 546.3 nM) |

| ln Vitro |
In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs), Lobeglitazone (1-10 μM) reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, in a dose-dependent manner. It also inhibits the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), thereby decreasing nitric oxide (NO) production. Mechanistically, it suppresses LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB and MAPK (p38, JNK) signaling pathways [2]
In human corneal fibroblasts, Lobeglitazone (1-10 μM) inhibits TGF-β1-induced fibrosis by reducing the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen type I, and fibronectin. It blocks TGF-β-mediated Smad2/3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, while increasing the expression of Smad7 (an inhibitory Smad) [3] |
| ln Vivo |
rats with balloon-induced carotid artery injury, oral administration of Lobeglitazone (0.3, 1, or 3 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks reduces neointimal formation in a dose-dependent manner (by 24-56% compared to controls). It decreases the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-positive cells in the neointima and inhibits the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) [4]
In an atherosclerotic mouse model (apoE-/- mice fed a high-fat diet), Lobeglitazone (1 or 3 mg/kg/day, oral for 12 weeks) reduces atherosclerotic plaque area in the aorta (by 30-45%) and decreases plaque lipid content. It also lowers serum triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels, while increasing HDL-cholesterol [4] In a 52-week open-label study with type 2 diabetes patients, Lobeglitazone (0.5 mg/day, oral) significantly reduces HbA1c levels (by 0.7-0.8%) and fasting plasma glucose (by 1.5-2.0 mmol/L) compared to baseline. It also improves insulin sensitivity, as indicated by reduced HOMA-IR [5] |
| Cell Assay |
For BMDM experiments, macrophages are isolated from mouse bone marrow, differentiated, and treated with Lobeglitazone (1-10 μM) for 1 hour prior to LPS stimulation (100 ng/mL). After 24 hours, culture supernatants are collected to measure cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) via ELISA, and NO production is assessed using a Griess reagent. Western blotting is performed to analyze NF-κB and MAPK pathway proteins [2]
In corneal fibroblast studies, cells are treated with Lobeglitazone (1-10 μM) 1 hour before TGF-β1 stimulation (5 ng/mL). After 48-72 hours, α-SMA, collagen I, and fibronectin expression is measured by western blot and immunofluorescence. Smad2/3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation are analyzed via western blot (nuclear/cytoplasmic fractions) and immunocytochemistry [3] |
| Animal Protocol |
For balloon injury in rats, male Sprague-Dawley rats undergo carotid artery balloon dilation. Starting 3 days before injury, rats receive Lobeglitazone (0.3, 1, or 3 mg/kg/day) or vehicle via oral gavage, continued for 2 weeks post-injury. Rats are euthanized, and carotid arteries are harvested for histomorphometric analysis (neointimal area, media area) and immunohistochemistry (PCNA, MCP-1) [4]
In apoE-/- mice, 8-week-old mice are fed a high-fat diet and randomized to Lobeglitazone (1 or 3 mg/kg/day) or vehicle via oral gavage for 12 weeks. Aortic tissues are collected to quantify atherosclerotic plaques, and serum lipids are measured using biochemical assays [4] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In humans, after oral administration of lobeglitazone (0.5 mg), peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached in 1.5–2 hours, and the elimination half-life is approximately 24 hours. The drug has a high protein binding rate (>99%) and is mainly metabolized by hepatic CYP3A4. Approximately 30% and 60% of the administered dose are excreted in urine and feces, respectively. [1]
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In a 52-week clinical study, lobeglitazone (0.5 mg/day) was well tolerated. The most common adverse events were mild edema (5-7%) and weight gain (2-3%). No significant changes in liver function (ALT, AST) or kidney function (creatinine) were observed[5]. Animal studies have shown that no significant toxicity, including hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity, was observed at doses up to 3 mg/kg/day[4].

| Additional Infomation |
Lobeglitazone is a thiazolidinedione (TZD) drug used to treat type 2 diabetes and has been approved for marketing in South Korea. Its mechanism of action involves PPAR-γ activation, thereby enhancing insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, muscle and liver. In addition to glycemic control, it also has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-fibrotic effects, suggesting that it may have potential benefits in complications such as cardiovascular disease and tissue fibrosis [1][2][3][4][5].
