We report the synthesis and biological activity of a new series of small molecule agonists of
the human Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor δ (PPARδ). Several hits were
identified from our original libraries containing lipophilic carboxylic acids. Optimization of
these hits by structure-guided design led to 7k (GW501516) and 7l (GW0742), which shows
an EC50 of 1.1 nM against PPARδ with 1000-fold selectivity over the other human subtypes.
