Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2017 Dec 1;27(23):5230-5234. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2017.10.037. Epub 2017 Oct 27.

Abstract

Optimization of benzamide PPARδ modulator 1 led to (E)-6-(2-((4-(furan-2-yl)-N-methylbenzamido)methyl)phenoxy)-4-methylhex-4-enoic acid (18), a potent selective PPARδ modulator with significantly improved exposure in multiple species following oral administration.

Keywords: GW501516; Ligand binding domain; PPARδ modulator; Plasma exposure; X-ray structure.
