General description

A cell-permeable urea-substituted thioisobutyric acid (ureido-TiBA) compound that acts as a potent and selective PPARα agonist (PPARα, γ and δ - EC50 = 6 nM, 1.1 µM and 6.2 µM for human; 1 nM, 1.3 µM and 2.9 µM for murine, respectively). Also displays in vivo lipid-lowering activity in rats.
A cell-permeable, urea-substituted, thioisobutyric acid (ureido-TiBA) compound that acts as a potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist (EC50 = 6 nM for human PPARα, 1.1 µM for human PPARγ, and 6.2 µM human PPARδ; 1 nM for murine PPARα, 1.3 µM for murine PPARγ, and 2.9 µM murine PPARδ). Also shown to lower lipid levels in rats.
