Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is activated by the anti-diabetes drugs known as thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone and pioglitazone . Phosphorylation of PPARγ by cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) causes dysregulation of genes whose expression is altered in obesity, including adiponectin. SR 1824 is a non-agonist PPARγ ligand (K_i = 10 nM) which blocks Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation. It does not inhibit activation of PPARγ by rosiglitazone .

SR 1824 is a non-agonist Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) ligand.

in a previous study, sr1824 was characterized for its ability to block cdk5-dependent phosphorylation of pparγ. the results demonstrated that sr1824 could potently block cdk5-dependent phosphorylation of pparc in cells while displaying little to no classical agonism. in the docking study, the hdx analyses showed that sr1824 and its analog of sr1664 werer able to increase the conformational mobility of the c-terminal end of h11, a helix that abuts h12; in contrast, the full and partial agonists could stabilize the same region of h11. morover, as expected sr1664 and sr1824 did not interact with h12 in any detectable way, but unexpectedly both ligands cause an increase in the conformational mobility of h11, which was part of the af2 surface and directly abuts h12 [1].
