title: Synthesis of polymeric thiazolidinedione and fibrate conjugates.
abstract: Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione (TZD) class of antidiabetic drug acting mainly through activation of PPARgamma which is a member of family of ligand activated nuclear hormone receptors. Clofibrate is an antilipemic drug acting through activation of PPARalpha. Despite the impressive antidiabetic activity of TZD, several side effects are implicated to use of this drug on some patient. Dual acting PPARalpha/gamma agonists have received increased attention to improve the profiles of the PPARgamma agonists. Hence, we describe here synthesis of TZD and/or fibrate derivatives-containing homo- or copolymers, poly(TZD) 7, poly(TZD-MAA) 8, poly(TZD-FA) 9, poly(FA) 10, and poly(FA-MAA) 11. The contents of TZD unit in copolymers, poly(TZD-MAA) 8 and poly (TZD-FA) 9 were 25 and 19 mol %, respectively. The number average molecular weights of the polymers determined by GPC were in range from 466 to 12600 and the polydispersity indices were in the range of 1.2-13.3.
