Chemical Name:N-(2-Benzoylphenyl)-O-[2-(methyl-2-pyridinylamino)ethyl
]-L-tyrosine
Biological Activity:
Highly
selective orally active peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ agonist (pEC50 values are
8.05, < 4 and < 4 for human PPARγ, PPARα and PPARδ receptors respectively). Decreases
glucose, fatty acid and triglyceride levels following oral administration in
vivo.
