Bavachinin analogues as agonists of pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors
摘要:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) agonists contribute to the regulation of glucose, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism and have emerged as key targets to treat metabolic syndrome. In our previous study, the natural compound bavachinin was found to have pan-PPAR agonist activity. In this study, five isoflavones, three isoflavanones, and five scaffold-hopping analogues of bavachinin were designed, synthesised, and evaluated through reporter gene assays for pan-PPAR agonist activity. The analogue 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-isopentenyl-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one (21) was identified as a pan-PPAR agonist, exhibiting substantially higher PPAR alpha/beta agonist activity and equal PPAR-gamma agonist activity than does bavachinin.
