Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists with phenethylphenylphthalimide skeleton derived from thalidomide-related liver X receptor antagonists: Relationship between absolute configuration and subtype selectivity
a partial structure of endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) ligands, into a phenethylphenylphthalimide skeleton, which possesses liver X receptor (LXR) antagonistic activity, afforded novel PPAR ligands. The results of structure–activityrelationship analysis and docking studies led us to the potent PPAR agonists 13c–e. The absolute configuration of 13c–e affects the PPAR subtype
Novel quaternary imidazolium salts substituted on one nitrogen of the imidazolium cation with a ##EQU1## group in which each A is an aryl radical and B is an aliphatic, aryl-substituted aliphatic or aromatic radical, said salts being useful as antimicrobial agents.
