Identification
Name ALEGLITAZAR
Accession Number DB08915 (DB08483)
Type small molecule
Description Aleglitazar is an investigational drug from the company Hoffmann-La Roche and is currently in a phase III clinical trial called ALECARDIO. It is being investigated for use in patients with type II diabetes to reduce their risks of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Aleglitazar is an agonist at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) for both the PPAR? and PPAR? receptor subtypes. In the phase II clinical trial called SYNCHRONY, with type II diabetic patients, aleglitazar was able to control both lipid and glucose levels in a synergistic manner while also having limited side effects and toxicity.

Pharmacology
Indication Investigated for use in patients with type II diabetes to reduce their risks of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
Mechanism of action Aleglitazar was rationally designed to be an agonist at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) for both the PPAR? and PPAR? receptor subtypes. Agonistic action at PPAR? controls lipid levels, which improves dyslipidemia, and agonistic action at PPAR? controls glucose levels, which improves insulin sensitivity in diabetes.
