Discovery of gemfibrozil analogues that activate PPARα and enhance the expression of gene CPT1A involved in fatty acids catabolism
摘要:
A new series of gemfibrozil analogues conjugated with alpha-asarone, trans-stilbene, chalcone, and their bioisosteric modifications were synthesized and evaluated to develop PPAR alpha agonists. In this attempt, we have removed the methyls on the phenyl ring of gemfibrozil and introduced the above scaffolds in para position synthesizing two series of derivatives, keeping the dimethylpentanoic skeleton of gemfibrozil unaltered or demethylated. Four compounds exhibited good activation of the PPAR alpha receptor and were also screened for their activity on PPAR alpha-regulated gene CPT1A. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

An agonist-antagonist switching strategy was performed to discover novel PPARα antagonists. Phenyldiazenyl derivatives of fibrates were developed, bearing sulfonimide or amide functional groups. A second series of compounds was synthesized, replacing the phenyldiazenyl moiety with amide or urea portions. Final compounds were screened by transactivation assay, showing good PPARα antagonism and selectivity
