A series of PPARγ agonists were synthesized from L-tyrosine that incorporated low molecular weight N-substituents. The most potent analogue, pyrrole (4e), demonstrated a Ki of 6.9 nM and an EC50 of 4.7 nM in PPARγ binding and functional assays, respectively. Pyrrole (4e), which is readily synthesized from L-tyrosine methyl ester in four steps, also demonstrated in vivo activity in a rodent model of Type 2 diabetes.
