摘要:
We describe the discovery of small molecule benzazepine derivatives as agonists of human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR delta) that displayed excellent selectivity over the PPAR delta and PPAR gamma subtypes. Compound 8 displayed good PK in the rat and efficacy in upregulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isozyme 4 (PDK4) mRNA in human primary myotubes, a biomarker for increased fatty acid oxidation.
