Abstract

Conformationally restricted heterocyclic derivatives of KCL ((S)-2-{4-methoxy-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylcarbamoyl]benzyl}butanoic acid), which exhibit selective PPARα-agonistic activity, were prepared to examine the significance of the amide bond of KCL. In vitro transactivation assay clearly indicated that introduction of a 2-position fluorine atom enhanced PPARs-agonistic activity as expected, while cyclization of the amide bond caused a drastic decrease of PPARs-agonistic activity.
