摘要

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) is a ligand-mediated transcription factor with roles in glucose, lipid, and lipoprotein homeostasis, and PPAR gamma ligands are expected have therapeutic potential in these as well as other areas We report here the design, synthesis, crystallographic analysis, and computational studies of alpha-benzylphenylpropanoic acid PPAR gamma agonists Interestingly, these compounds show a reversal of the stereochemistry-transactivation activity relationship observed with other phenylpropanoic acid ligands
