A chemoinformatics search for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ligands revealed a new pan-agonist able to reduce lipid accumulation and improve insulin sensitivity
A novel compound of the formula: A--Z--Ar.sup.1 1'CO--Ar.sup.2 wherein A is a condensed pyrimidinone or condensed pyridazinone ring; Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 are independently a ring; Z is a divalent group, or a salt thereof which have an excellent antitumor activity.
An efficient method for the synthesis of 1,4-diacylbenzenes has been developed employing bis-tetrabutylammonium dichromate as an oxidant. By this methodology, a series of aldehydes and ketones have been synthesised under mild reaction conditions in moderate yields.
