Human PPAR delta ligand binding domain in complex with a synthetic agonist H11
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedPeroxisome proliferator-activator receptors alpha/delta (PPARalpha/delta) are regarded as potential therapeutic targets for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, PPARalpha/delta dual agonist GFT-505 exhibited poor anti-NASH effects in a phase III clinical trial, probably due to its weak PPARalpha/delta agonistic activity and poor metabolic stability. Other reported PPARalpha/delta dual agonists either exhibited limited potency or had unbalanced PPARalpha/delta agonistic activity. Herein, we report a series of novel triazolone derivatives as PPARalpha/delta dual agonists. Among them, compound H11 exhibited potent and well-balanced PPARalpha/delta agonistic activity (PPARalpha EC50 = 7.0 nM; PPARdelta EC50 = 8.4 nM) and a high selectivity over PPARgamma (PPARgamma EC50 = 1316.1 nM) in PPAR transactivation assays. The crystal structure of PPARdelta in complex with H11 revealed a unique PPARdelta-agonist interaction. H11, which had excellent PK properties and a good safety profile, showed potent in vivo anti-NASH effects in preclinical models. Together, H11 holds a great promise for treating NASH or other inflammatory and fibrotic diseases.
