PPARγ Agonist

Phellopterin, an orally active furocoumarin with multiple biological activities. Phellopterin is a partial agonist of the central benzodiazepine receptors. Phellopterin exerts anti-inflammatory effects by upregulating SIRT1, downregulating ICAM-1 (reducing chronic inflammation, aiding diabetic ulcer healing), inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation (easing atopic dermatitis inflammation), regulating Akt/PKC pathways (lowering TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 to block monocyte adhesion), and inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB pathway and macrophage M2 polarization (alleviating colitis-related cancers). Phellopterin suppresses ovarian cancer progression via inhibiting the PU.1/CLEC5A/PI3K-AKT loop (inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, DNA damage). Phellopterin alleviates murine diabetes by promoting adipocyte differentiation and increasing PPARγ. Phellopterin also has anti-HSV-1 activity. Phellopterin can be used for studying anti-inflammation, anti-cancer (e.g., ovarian cancer, colitis cancer), blood glucose lowering, anti-diabetes, and anti-virus.

L-165041 is a cell permeable PPARδ agonist, with K_is of 6 nM and appr 730 nM for PPARδ and PPARγ, respectively, and induces adipocyte differentiation in NIH-PPARδ cells.

Leriglitazone (MIN-102; Hydroxypioglitazone) is an orally active and a BBB-penetrable PPARγ agonist with an EC₅₀ of 9 μM. Leriglitazone, as a regulator of mitochondrial function, has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Leriglitazone can be used in the study of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

25-Hydroxytachysterol3 is the metabolite of Vitamin D3 (HY-15398). 25-Hydroxytachysterol3 inhibits the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, stimulates the expression of differentiation- and antioxidant-related genes in keratinocytes. 25-Hydroxytachysterol3 activates vitamin D receptor (VDR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), liver X receptor α/β (LXR α/β) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), stimulates the expression of CYP24A1.

Balaglitazone is a selective partial PPARγ agonist with an EC₅₀ of 1.351 μM for human PPARγ.

Saroglitazar magnesium is a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist with predominant PPARα and moderate PPARγ activity with EC₅₀ values of 0.65 pM and 3 nM in HepG2 cells, respectively.

Leriglitazone (MIN-102; Hydroxypioglitazone) hydrochloride is an orally active and a BBB-penetrable PPARγ agonist with an EC₅₀ of 9 μM. Leriglitazone hydrochloride, as a regulator of mitochondrial function, has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Leriglitazone hydrochloride can be used in the study of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

PPARα/γ agonist 1 (compound 5b) is a potent and dual PPARα/γ partial agonist with EC₅₀ values of 28 nM and 69 nM for PPARα and PPARγ, respectively. PPARα/γ agonist 1 is a promising prototype for dyslipidemia and diabetes research.

Inolitazone dihydrochloride (Efatutazone dihydrochloride) is a novel high-affinity PPARγ agonist that is dependent upon PPARγ for its biological activity with IC₅₀ of 0.8 nM for growth inhibition.

Darglitazone (CP-86325), a thiazolidinedione, is a potent, selective, and orally active PPAR-γ agonist. Darglitazone is effective in controlling blood glucose and lipid metabolism, and can be used for type II diabetes research.

Edaglitazone is a potent, selective and orally active PPARγ agonist, with EC₅₀s of 35.6 nM and 1053 nM for PPARα and PPARγ, respectively. Edaglitazone displays antiplatelet, antidiabetic and anti-hyperglycemic activity.

Indeglitazar (PPM 204) is an orally available PPAR pan-agonist for all three PPARα, PPARδ and PPARγ.

4-O-Methyl honokiol is a natural neolignan isolated from Magnolia officinalis, acts as a PPARγ agonist, and inhibtis NF-κB activity, used for cancer and inflammation research.

Cefminox sodium (MT-141) is a semisynthetic cephamycin, which exhibits antibacterial activity. Cefminox sodium is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefminox sodium also acts as a dual agonist of prostacyclin receptor (IP) and PPARγ. Cefminox sodium upregulates cAMP production and PTEN expression and inhibits Akt/mTOR signaling. Cefminox sodium also prevents pulmonary arterial hypertension in rat model.

1,1'-(Azodicarbonyl)-dipiperidine (ADDP) can be used in the condensation reaction of alcohols with acidic compounds. 1,1'-(Azodicarbonyl)-dipiperidine can also be used in the synthesis of GPR120 agonists with antidiabetic activity, as well as the synthesis of triple agonists for PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ. 1,1'-(Azodicarbonyl)-dipiperidine can be used in metabolic disease research.
