Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) is involved in glucose and lipid homeostasis. PPAR gamma agonists are in clinical use for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Lately, a new class of selective PPAR gamma modulators (SPPAR gamma Ms) was developed, which are believed to show less side effects than full PPAR gamma agonists. We have previously shown that alpha-substitution of pirinixic acid, a moderate agonist of PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma, leads to low micromolar active balanced dual agonists of PPAR alpha and PPAR alpha. Herein we present modifications of pirinixic acid leading to subtype-selective PPAR gamma agonists and furthermore the development of a selective PPAR gamma modulator guided by molecular docking studies.
