A series of novel indole-based PPAR agonists is described leading to discovery of 10k, a highly potent PPAR pan-agonist. The structural biology and molecular docking studies revealed that the distances between the acidic group and the linker, when a ligand was complexed with PPAR gamma protein, were important for the potent activity. The hydrophobic tail part of 10k makes intensive hydrophobic interaction with the PPAR gamma protein resulting in potent activity.
