Discontinued Product
BADGE (Cat. No. 1326) has been withdrawn from sale for commercial reasons.
Description: PPARγ antagonist
Alternative Names: Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether
Chemical Name: 2,2-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenyl]propane
Purity: ≥95%
Biological Activity for BADGE
PPARγ pure antagonist with micromolar affinity in 3T3-L1 and 3T3-F442A preadipocyte cells; selective over PPARδ and PPARα. Antagonizes the ability of rosiglitazone to stimulate transcriptional activity of PPARγ. Acts as a PPARγ agonist in an ECV304 cell line. Also produces PPARγ-independent apoptosis of tumor cells via several mechanisms. Active in vivo.

Epilepsy Poster
Epilepsy is a brain disease that affects 60 million people globally. More than 20 anti-seizure drugs are currently available, but these do not address the underlying causes of the condition. This poster summarizes current knowledge about the development of the condition and highlights some approaches that have disease-modifying effects in proof-of-concept studies.
