Abstract

A series of substituted phenylpropanoic acid derivatives was prepared as part of a search for subtype-selective human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activators. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated that the substituent at the α-position of the carboxyl group plays a key role in determining the potency and the selectivity for PPAR transactivation.
