SR 1903 is a modulator of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) and liver X receptor (LXR).1 It is an inverse agonist of RORγ (IC50 = ~100 nM in a cell-based reporter assay) and an agonist of LXR. It also binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ; IC50 = 209 nM) but does not activate it. SR 1903 (10 μM) inhibits LPS-induced expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) in RAW 264.7 cells. It also inhibits LPS-induced expression of the LXR target genes IL-6 and IL-33 and increases expression of ABCG1, FASN, and SCD-1 in RAW 264.7 cells. SR 1903 (20 mg kg twice per day) reduces severity score in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis. It reduces blood glucose levels in a glucose tolerance test, serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL, body weight, and fat mass in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity.References1.

ZLY032 is a dual agonist of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1 GPR40; EC50= 68 nM in a FLIPR assay) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ; EC50= 102 nM in a reporter assay).1It is selective for FFAR1 and PPARδ over PPARα and PPARγ (EC50s = >10 μM for both). ZLY032 (40 mg kg, twice per day) reduces blood glucose levels in an oral glucose tolerance test and decreases plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in theob obmouse model of metabolic disease.2It reduces hepatic steatosis and plasma alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a methionine and choline-deficient diet at the same dose. 1.Li, Z., Chen, Y., Zhou, Z., et al.Discovery of first-in-class thiazole-based dual FFA1 PPARδ agonists as potential anti-diabetic agentsEur.

Pioglitazone potassium (U 72107) is an orally active and selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). It demonstrates high affinity binding to the ligand-binding domain of PPARγ, with an EC50 of 0.93 μM and 0.99 μM for human and mousePPARγ, respectively. Pioglitazone potassium has applications in diabetes research [2] [3] [4].
15-deoxy-Δ12,14-Prostaglandin D2 (15-deoxy-Δ12,14-PGD2) is a PGD2 metabolite functioning as an agonist for the PGD2 receptor 2 (DP2), with a binding affinity (Ki) of 50 nM for the mouse DP2 receptor expressed in HEK293 cell membranes. It activates eosinophils with an EC50 of 8 nM and enhances the recruitment of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), initiating PPARγ-mediated transcription at 5 µM concentration. Furthermore, it exhibits cytotoxicity towards L1210 murine leukemia cells with an IC50 of 0.3 µg ml and displays weaker inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation than PGD2, with an IC50 of 320 ng ml.
