Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 2-Heteroarylthioalkanoic Acid Analogues of Clofibric Acid as Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α Agonists
摘要:
A series of 2-heteroarylthioalkanoic acids were synthesized through systematic structural modifications of clofibric acid and evaluated for human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) transactivation activity, with the aim of obtaining new hypolipidemic compounds. Some thiophene and benzothiazole derivatives showing a good activation of the receptor a were screened for activity against the PPAR gamma isoform. The gene induction of selected compounds was also investigated in the human hepatoma cell line.
