DG172 (dihydrochloride)

Description

DG-172 is an orally available inverse agonist of PPARβ/δ (IC₅₀ = 27 nM), down-regulating transcription of ANGPTL4 in mouse myoblasts (IC₅₀ = 9.5 nM). It alters the differentiation of bone marrow cells, augmenting GM-CSF-induced development into subsets of mature and immature dendritic cells. Inverse agonists of PPARβ/δ, including DG-172, inhibit cancer cell invasion through suppression of ANGPTL4 expression.

Uses

DG 172 Dihydrochloride is a potent peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist and inhibit Angptl4 gene expression in mouse myoblasts.
