Troglitazone
Troglitazone was the first thiazolidinedione (TZD) PPAR-gamma agonist approved for type 2 diabetes, acting by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma to improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues including muscle, fat, and liver. It was withdrawn from the market due to severe idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity causing liver failure and death, despite its efficacy in reducing hyperglycemia and cardiovascular risk markers. It served as the prototype for subsequent TZDs (rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) with improved safety profiles.
