5-aryl thiazolidine-2,4-diones: discovery of PPAR dual alpha/gamma agonists as antidiabetic agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Aug 18;13(16):2795-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00505-5.

Abstract

A novel series of 5-aryl thiazolidine-2,4-diones based dual PPARalpha/gamma agonists was identified. A number of highly potent and orally bioavailable analogues were synthesized. Efficacy study results of some of these analogues in the db/db mice model of type 2 diabetes showed them superior to rosiglitazone in correcting hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
