Design and Synthesis of Oxime Ethers of β-Oxo-γ-phenylbutanoic Acids as PPAR α and -γ Dual Agonists

Oxime ethers of β-oxo-γ-phenylbutanoic acids were prepared to develop more effective PPAR α and γ dual agonists. Among them, compound 11k exhibited potent in vitro activities with EC50 of 2.5 nM and 3.3 nM in PPAR α and γ, respectively. It showed better glucose lowering effects than rosiglitazone 1 and improved the lipid profile like plasma triglyceride in db/db mice model. KCI Citation Count: 3
