Abstract:
:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are attractive targets for the treatment of the metabolic syndrome. Especially a combination of PPARα and PPARγ agonistic activity seems worthwhile to be pursued. Herein we present the design and synthesis of a series of pirinixic acid derivatives as potent PPARα particularly dual PPARα/γ agonists with 2-((4-chloro-6-((4-(phenylamino)phenyl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)thio)octanoicacid having the highest potential. Our investigations based on molecular docking and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies elucidated structural determinants affecting the potency at PPARα. A diphenylamine-scaffold seems to play a key role. Careful in silico analysis revealed an essential role for a hydrogen bond between the diphenylamine and a water cluster. We confirmed this hypothesis using a mutated PPARα LBD in our transactivation assay to disrupt the water cluster and to validate the proposed interaction.
