Application

MBX-102 may be used in PPAR-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MBX-102 has a potent transrepression effect on PPARγ. It is an oral glucose-reducing agent and also has insulin-sensitizing properties. It is useful as treatment for type 2 diabetes. MBX-102 also lowers triglycerides in a PPARα-independent manner.
MBX-102 is a selective PPAR modulator (SPPARM) and has been shown to inhibit phosphorylation of PPARγ. MBX-102 is converted to the active form, MBX-102 acid, in vivo.

MBX-102/JNJ39659100 (MBX-102) is in clinical development as an oral glucose-lowering agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. MBX-102 is a nonthiazolidinedione (TZD) selective partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma that is differentiated from the TZDs structurally, mechanistically, preclinically

MBX-102/JNJ-39659100 (MBX-102) is a selective, partial PPAR-γ agonist that lowers glucose in the absence of some of the side effects, such as weight gain and edema, that are observed with the TZDs. Interestingly MBX-102 also displays pronounced triglyceride lowering in

Nuclear Receptors (PPARs)

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that are related to retinoid, steroid and thyroid hormone receptors.
