Synthesis and structure–Activity relationship studies of cinnamic acid-based novel thiazolidinedione antihyperglycemic agents

A number of 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives of -phenyl substituted cinnamic acid were synthesized and studied for their PPAR agonist activity. The E-isomer of cinnamic acid, 11, showed moderate PPAR transactivation. The corresponding Z-isomer, 23, and double bond reduced derivative, 15, were found...

Description
Summary:A number of 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives of -phenyl substituted cinnamic acid were synthesized and studied for their PPAR agonist activity. The E-isomer of cinnamic acid, 11, showed moderate PPAR transactivation. The corresponding Z-isomer, 23, and double bond reduced derivative, 15, were found to be much less potent. Although the E-isomer showed a moderate PPARγ transactivation, it demonstrated a strong glucose-lowering effect in a genetic rodent model of diabetes. Results of pharmacokinetic, metabolism and permeability studies are consistent with 11 being an active prodrug with an active metabolite, 14, that has similar glucose lowering and PPARγ agonist properties. Novel cinnamic acid based thiazolidinediones are synthesized and evaluated their PPARγ agonist activity.
