Title:

Design of a partial PPARdelta agonist.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 15;17(16):4625-9. Epub 2007 May 27.

Abstract:

Structure based ligand design was used in order to design a partial agonist for the PPARdelta receptor. The maximum activation in the transactivation assay was reduced from 87% to 39%. The crystal structure of the ligand binding domain of the PPARdelta receptor in complex with compound 2 was determined in order to understand the structural changes which gave rise to the decrease in maximum activation.
