A series of PPAR gamma agonists were synthesized front L-tyrosine that incorporated low molecular weight N-substituents. The most potent analogue, pyrrole (4e), demonstrated a K-i of 6.9 nM and an EC50 of 4.7 nM in PPAR gamma binding and functional assays, respectively. Pyrrole (4e), which is readily synthesized from L-tyrosine methyl ester in four steps, also demonstrated in vivo activity in a rodent model of Type 2 diabetes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
