Product Description
2,4-Thiazolidinedione is a heterocyclic compound containing both a thiazolidine ring and two keto groups at positions 2 and 4. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. This compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals, especially in the class of antidiabetic drugs (e.g., pioglitazone and rosiglitazone). Its structural motif plays a crucial role in binding to PPAR receptors, which regulate glucose and lipid metabolism.
