Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of alkoxy-3-indolylacetic acids as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ/δ agonists
摘要:
A series of alkoxy-3-indolylacetic acid analogs has been discovered as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists. Structure-activity relationship study indicated that PPAR alpha/gamma/delta activities were dependent on the nature of the hydrophobic group, the attachment position of the alkoxy linker to the indole ring, and N-alkylation of indole nitrogen. Some compounds presented significant PPAR gamma/delta activity and molecular modeling suggested their putative binding modes in the ligand binding domain of PPAR gamma. Of these, compound 51 was selected for in vivo study via an evaluation of microsomal stability in mouse and human liver. Compound 51 lowered the levels of fasting blood glucose, insulin, and HbA1c without gain in body weight in db/db mice. When compound 51 was treated, hepatic triglycerides level and the size of adipocytes in white adipose tissue of db/db mice were also reduced as opposed to treatment with rosiglitazone. Taken together, compound 51 shows high potential warranting further studies in models for diabetes and related metabolic disorders and may be in use as a chemical tool for the understanding of PPAR biology.

Benzyl phenyl ethers are disclosed as inhibitors of cytokinin plant growth regulatory activity and as possessing seed germination regulatory properties and senescence delaying activity when applied to plants. Benzyl phenyl ethers may also be useful as plant dwarfing agents, agents to retard seedling development or as herbicides.
Arylmetals are highly valuable carbon nucleophiles that are readily and inexpensively prepared fromarylhalides or arenes and widely used on both laboratory and industrial scales to react directly with a wide range of electrophiles. Although C−Cbond formation has been a staple of organic synthesis, the direct transfer of primary amino (−NH2) and hydroxyl (−OH) groups to arylmetals in a scalable and environmentally
