PPARγ agonist 7 (Compound 3a) is a highly potent and selective agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). It specifically stimulates adiponectin production in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs), making it an innovative full agonist of PPARγ with an EC 50 value of 4.34 μM [1].
PPARγ agonist 3, also known as Compound 18a, is a potent and selective agonist of PPARγ. This compound does not exhibit cytotoxicity towards both non-resistant and resistant cells. Notably, PPARγ agonist 3 demonstrates antitumor efficacy exclusively when co-administered with Imatinib [1].
PPARγ agonist 4 (Compound 18b), a potent and selective PPARγ agonist, demonstrates antitumor efficacy only when used in conjunction with Imatinib. Notably, PPARγ agonist 4 does not exhibit cytotoxic effects on either non-resistant or resistant cells [1].
