Modulation of PPAR receptor subtype selectivity of the ligands: aliphatic chain vs aromatic ring as a spacer between pharmacophore and the lipophilic moiety.
Oxazole containing glycine and oximinobutyric acid derivatives were synthesized as PPARalpha agonists by incorporating polymethylene spacer as a replacement of commonly used phenylene group that connects the acidic head with lipophilic tail. Compound 13a was found to be a selective and potent PPARalpha agonist. Further 1,3-dioxane-2-carboxylic acid derivative 20 was synthesized by replacing the tetramethylene spacer of NS-220, a selective PPARalpha agonist with phenylene group and found to exhibit PPARalpha/gamma dual agonism. These results suggest that compounds possessing polymethylene spacer between pharmacophore and lipophilic tail exhibit predominantly PPARalpha agonism whereas those with an aromatic phenylene spacer shows PPARalpha/gamma dual agonism.
