title: Troglitazone, an euglycemic antidiabetic drug.
abstract: Troglitazone (or 5-{4-[(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-2-yl) methoxy]benzyl}thiazolidine-2,4-dione, C24H27NO5S) is the first euglycemic drug. The molecules are held together in the lattice by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy O atom of the chroman moiety, and the ketone O and ring N atom of the thiazolidine-2,4-dione moiety.
