Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a new class of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor modulators
摘要:
A series of 5-substituted 2-benzoylaminobenzoic acids has been synthesized and assayed for PPARalpha/gamma activity. Both dual activators and selective PPARgamma agonists have been identified. This class of compounds was shown to activate the PPARgamma receptor through interaction with a novel binding site. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
The present invention relates to 2-(benzoylamino)benzoic acid derivatives of the formula (I), wherein the variants Ar, X and R are described in the specification. The said compounds modulate the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) α and/or γ, and are predicted to be useful in the treatment of metabolic diseases, e.g. type II diabetes.
