Azemiglitazone (MSDC-0602) is a novel insulin sensitizer designed to retain the effect of thiazolidinediones on mitochondrial pyruvate carriers with limited PPAR-gamma binding. It is hoped to have fewer adverse effects than the thiazolidinediones and is being developed by Cirius Therapeutics for type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is formulated as its potassium salt, azemiglitazone potassium (MSDC-0602K).
