Pioglitazone?

[HenryW]

Has anyone tried or researched pioglitazone? It seems similar to MIN-102.

I posted about it here a few years back:

Pioglitazone has already been patented for our disease.

Cliff notes? Obviously it wasn’t a cure and hasn’t really helped?

[monkeybus in reply to Coslet]

You should thoroughly read the patent. It looks extremely promising, though the experiment was done on mice.

[Coslet in reply to monkeybus]

So are trials going on?

[monkeybus in reply to Coslet]

I doubt it. It's one thing to repurpose an old drug, much more profitable to patent a brand new one.

Hence MIN-1002.

For what its worth, the author of this study, Aurora Pujol is known to me from years ago, from one of our early meetings with scientists. She was one of those who came to London for the conference we organised, and she was a thoughtful and open-minded person.

My understanding is that the human trials were stopped when the MIN-102 trials started.

Don't forget Metformin as well.

A drug I posted about a few years back.

Different drug of course, but looks promising.
