title: Design and synthesis of 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives as PPARgamma activators.
abstract: The design and synthesis of novel series of 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (pyrimidone) derivatives that are high affinity ligands for peroxisome proliferators activated receptor gamma have been reported as a potential substitute of 2,4-thiazolidinedione head group. The FlexX docking and radioligand binding affinity of some promising compounds of this series is comparable to that of thiazolidinedione based antidiabetic drugs currently in clinical use.
