gw-9662

GW9662 (TIMTEC-BB SBB006523) is a PPARγ antagonist (IC50=3.3 nM) with selectivity. GW9662 can be used to study the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, by inhibiting the activity of PPARγ. GW9662 can be used to study the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. GW9662 has anti-tumor effect.

SR 16832 is a dual-site PPARγ inhibitor. It also inhibits the binding of endogenous ligands and transcriptional activity of PPARγ, more effectively than the orthosteric covalent antagonist GW 9662 and T 0070907.

(±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide is an ω-3 endocannabinoid epoxide and cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist (EC50s = 108 and 280 nM for CB1 and CB2, respectively). It is produced through direct epoxygenation of docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases. (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide (25 μM) reduces the viability of 143B metastatic osteosarcoma cells. It decreases the production of IL-6 and increases the production of IL-10 when used at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 μM in BV-2 microglia stimulated by LPS and decreases LPS-induced cytotoxicity when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 10 μM. It also decreases nitrite production when used at a concentration of 7.5 μM, an effect that can be partially reversed by the CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 and the PPARγ antagonist GW 9662 . (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide induces vasodilation of isolated preconstricted bovine coronary arteries (ED50 = 1.9 μM) and reduces tube formation by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) in a Matrigel assay.
