In an effort to develop dual PPAR alpha/gamma activators with improved therapeutic efficacy, a series of diaryl alpha-ethoxy propanoic acid compounds comprising two aryl groups linked by rigid oxime ether or isoxazoline ring were designed and synthesized and their biological activities were examined. Most of the compounds possessing an oxime ether linker were more potent PPAR gamma activators than the lead PPAR alpha/gamma dual agonist, tesaglitazar in vitro. Compound 18, one of the derivatives with an oxime ether linker, was found to selectively transactivate PPAR gamma (EC(50) = 0.028 mu M) over PPAR alpha (EC(50) = 7.22 mu M) in vitro and lower blood glucose in db/db mice more than muraglitazar after oral treatment for 11 days.
