Design, synthesis and evaluation of trifluoromethane sulfonamide derivatives as new potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α agonists
Starting from the structure of 5, a two-step strategy was applied to identify a new generation of trifluoromethane sulfonamides as potent PPARα agonists. Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of the most potent compound are reported.
