Tesaglitazar (also known as AZ 242) is a dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist with affinity to PPARα and PPARγ, proposed for the management of type 2 diabetes.[1]

The drug had completed several phase III clinical trials,[2] however in May, 2006 AstraZeneca announced that it had discontinued further development.[3]

Cardiac toxicity of tesaglitazar is related to mitochondrial toxicity caused by decrease in PPARγ coactivator 1-α (PPARGC1A, PGC1α) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1).[4]
