title: Design, synthesis and evaluation of carbazole derivatives as PPAR alpha/gamma dual agonists and antioxidants.
abstract: A series of hydroxycarbazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for PPAR alpha/gamma dual agonist as well as antioxidant activities. While most compounds showed good antioxidant activity, some compounds were identified as potential PPAR alpha/gamma dual agonists as well. Compounds 10a and 16 were found to be active in animal studies.
