Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Novel Zwitterionic Compounds as Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor α/γ Dual Agonists with Improved Physicochemical Properties
We describe herein the design, syntheses and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel zwitterionic compounds as non-thiazolidinedion (TZD) based peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) α/γ dual agonists. In the previous report, we obtained compound 1 showing potent PPARα/γ dual agonistic activities, together with a great glucose lowering effect in the db/db mice. However, this compound
