title: Enantio-dependent binding and transactivation of optically active phenylpropanoic acid derivatives at human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha.
abstract: Optically active phenylpropanoic acid derivatives [(S)-5, and (R)-5] were prepared, and their affinities for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha and PPAR gamma were evaluated. Binding assay and cell-based reporter assay indicated that the activity of these compounds is enantio-dependent, and resides exclusively on the (S)-isomer.
