Rosiglitazone (BRL49653) is a PPARγ agonist, TRPC5 activator, and TRPM3 inhibitor with oral activity. Rosiglitazone is also a hypoglycemic agent and a thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizer.

5-Aminosalicylic Acid (5-ASA) is an anti-inflammatory agent, structurally related to the SALICYLATES, which is active in INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE. It is considered to be the active moiety of SULPHASALAZINE.

GW9662 (TIMTEC-BB SBB006523) is a specific PPARγ antagonist (IC50: 3.3 nM, in a cell-free assay), with 100 to 1000-fold functional selectivity for PPARγ than PPARα δ in cells.

Troglitazone (Romglizone) is a PPARγ agonist with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity.

T0070907(IC50=1 nM) , an effective and specific PPARγ inhibitor, with the >800-fold selectivity over PPARα and PPARδ.

ERRα antagonist-1 (ERR+ - antagonist-1) is a high-affinity, selective antagonist of the estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα). It effectively prevents the interaction of ERRα with both Proliferator-activated Receptor γ Coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and PGC-1β, displaying IC50 values of 170 nM and 180 nM, respectively. Notably, ERRα antagonist-1 does not interfere with the interactions involving ERRβ or ERRγ and the PGC-1α and PGC-1β coactivators. Furthermore, it does not affect the interaction between either ERα or ERβ and PGC-1α or SRC-1.

Inolitazone (RS5444) a high-affinity PPARγ agonist. Inolitazone exhibits IC50 for growth inhibition is ~0.8 nM in vitro.

MCC-555 (Isaglitazone) is a PPARα and PPARγ agonist exerting antihyperglycemic effects.

Darglitazone (CP-86325) is a potent, selective agonist of PPAR-γ with antidiabetic actions. Darglitazone is effective in controlling blood glucose and lipid metabolism.

SR1664 is a potent and selective PPARγ inhibitor with potential antidiabetic activity. SR1664 binds to PPARγ and potently inhibits Cdk5-mediated PPARγ phosphorylation (IC50 = 80 nM; Ki = 28.67 nM) without exhibiting PPARγ agonist activity.

K-111 (BM-170744) is an orally available peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha agonist and insulin enhancer for the study of obesity-type diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome.

Suksdorfin has hypoglycemic effects, promotes adipocyte differentiation and enhances lipocalin production, activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), promotes insulin-dependent glucose uptake by adipocytes, and can be used to study obesity.

Clofibric acid (Chlorofibrinic acid) is an antilipemic agent that is the biologically active metabolite of CLOFIBRATE.

Pioglitazone hydrochloride (AD 4833) is the hydrochloride salt of an orally-active thiazolidinedione with antidiabetic properties and potential antineoplastic activity.

Gliquidone (AR-DF 26) is a potent, second-generation sulfonylurea with antihyperglycemic activity, exhibiting greater binding affinity to SUR1 and increased potency compared to first-generation compounds. Additionally, this agent exerts peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonistic activity.

Bezafibrate (BM15075) is an antilipemic agent that lowers CHOLESTEROL and TRIGLYCERIDES. It decreases LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS and increases HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS.

Retinoic acid (Tretinoin), a metabolite of vitamin A, is a natural agonist of the retinoic acid receptor RAR and inhibits RARα β γ (IC50=14 nM). Retinoic acid induces cellular differentiation, reduces cellular proliferation, and inhibits tumorigenesis.

Fenofibrate (Lipanthyl) is a PPARα agonist (EC50=30 μM) and is selective. Fenofibrate also inhibits cytochrome P450 isoforms, such as CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4. Fenofibrate exhibits antihyperlipidemic activity.

Daidzein (Isoflavone) is an isoflavone extract from soy, which is an inactive analog of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. It has antioxidant and phytoestrogenic properties.

Ciprofibrate (Win35833) is a fibrate derivative with antilipidemic activity.

Fenofibric acid (FNF acid) is the active form of fenofibrate, a synthetic phenoxy-isobutyric acid derivate with antihyperlipidemic activity.

Gemfibrozil (CI-719) interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha) resulting in PPARalpha-mediated stimulation of fatty acid oxidation and an increase in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis. Gemfibrozil is a fibric acid derivative with hypolipidemic effects. This enhances triglyceride-rich lipoprotein clearance and reduces the expression of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). The reduction in hepatic production of apoC-III result in the subsequent reduction of serum levels of very-low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). In addition, gemfibrozil-mediated PPARalpha stimulation of apoA-I and apoA-II expression results in an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

β-Carotene (Provitamin A) is a naturally-occurring retinol (vitamin A) precursor obtained from certain fruits and vegetables with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. As an anti-oxidant, beta carotene inhibits free-radical damage to DNA.
