5-[(2,4-DIOXO-1,3-THIAZOLIDIN-5-YL)METHYL]-2-METHOXY-N-[4-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)BENZYL]BENZAMIDE

Biological Activity

KRP 927 is a thiazolidinedione dual agonist of PPARα and PPARγ (EC50s = 149 and 83 nM, respectively, in transactivation assays).1 It decreases hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in ob/ob mice in a dose-dependent manner. KRP 927 (10 or 30 mg/kg) reduces serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in hamsters.
