L-165,041 - CAS 79558-09-1 - Calbiochem

General description

A cell-permeable phenoxyacetic acid derivative that acts as a potent and selective peroxisome proliferator activator receptor δ (PPARδ) agonist (K_i = 6 nM for hPPAR δ and 730 nM for hPPARγ). Induces adipocyte differentiation in NIH-PPARδ cells at 500 nM. Also reported to raise total cholesterol in insulin-resistant db/db mice without altering glucose or triglyceride levels. Shown to increase uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) gene expression in L6 myotubes. Also shown to inhibit cytokine-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and the secretion of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in Eahy926 cells.
