摘要:
A novel class of azetidinone acid-derived dual PPAR alpha/gamma agonists has been synthesized for the treatment of diabetes and dyslipidemia. The preferred stereochemistry in this series for binding and functional agonist activity against both PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma receptors was shown to be 3S,4S. Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo activities of compounds in this series are described. A high-yielding method for N-arylation of azetidinone esters is also described. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
