GW-7647

GW-7647 is a potent, selective agonist of human and murine PPARα. It activates human PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ with EC₅₀ values of 0.006, 1.1 and 6.2 µM, respectively, in a GAL4-PPAR binding assay. Similar EC₅₀ values of 0.001, 1.3, and 2.9 were observed with the murine receptors. Modulates oleate metabolism and mitochondrial enzyme gene expression in mature myotubules in vitro. Has lipid-lowering effects following oral administrationin vivo. Reduces NO production in macrophages; exhibits anti-inflammatory properties.
