• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  An X-ray-guided design approach led to the identification of a novel, balanced class of alpha-ethoxy-phenylpropionic acid-derived dual PPARalpha/gamma agonists. The series shows a wide range of PPARalpha/gamma ratios within a rather narrow structural space. Advanced compounds possess favorable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles and show a high efficacy in T2D and dyslipidemia animal models.
