Abstract

Anthranilic acid GW9371 was identified as a novel class of PPARdelta partial agonist through high-throughput screening. The design and synthesis of SAR analogues is described. GSK1115 and GSK7227 show potent partial agonism of the PPARdelta target genes CPT1a and PDK4 in skeletal muscle cells.
