Methods Here, we investigated the development of fbrotic NASH in male Wistar rats fed a choline-defcient L-amino acid- defned (CDAA) diet with or without cholesterol supplementation for subsequent assessment of drug treatment efcacy in NASH biopsy-confrmed rats. The metabolic profle and liver histopathology were evaluated after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of dieting. Subsequently, rats with biopsy-confrmed NASH were selected for pharmacological intervention with vehicle, elafbranor (30 mg/kg/day) or obeticholic acid (OCA, 30 mg/kg/day) for 5 weeks. Results The CDAA diet led to marked hepatomegaly and fbrosis already after 4 weeks of feeding, with further progression of collagen deposition and fbrogenesis-associated gene expression during the 12-week feeding period. Cholesterol supple- mentation enhanced the stimulatory efect of CDAA on gene transcripts associated with fbrogenesis without signifcantly increasing collagen deposition. Pharmacological intervention with elafbranor, but not OCA, signifcantly reduced stea- tohepatitis scores, and fbrosis-associated gene expression, however, was unable to prevent progression in fbrosis scores. Conclusion CDAA-fed rats develop early-onset progressive NASH, which ofers the opportunity to probe anti-NASH com- pounds with potential disease-modifying properties.

Received: 22 June 2018; Accepted: 24 July 2018; Published: 27 July 2018 Abstract: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a well-known pharmacological target for the treatment of multiple diseases, including diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases and even primary biliary cholangitis, gout, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The three PPAR isoforms (α, β/δ and γ) have emerged as integrators of glucose and lipid metabolic signaling networks. Typically, PPARα is activated by fibrates, which are commonly used therapeutic agents in the treatment of dyslipidemia. The pharmacological activators of PPARγ include thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which are insulin sensitizers used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), despite some drawbacks. In this review, we summarize 84 types of PPAR synthetic ligands introduced to date for the treatment of metabolic and other diseases and provide a comprehensive analysis of the current applications and problems of these ligands in clinical drug discovery and development.

PPARα regulates lipid metabolism in the liver, the organ that largely controls whole-body nutrient/energy homeostasis, and its abnormalities may lead to hepatic steatosis, steatohepatitis, steatofibrosis, and liver cancer. PPARβ/δ promotes fatty acid β-oxidation largely in extrahepatic organs, and PPARγ stores triacylglycerol in adipocytes. Investigations using liver-specific PPAR-disrupted mice have revealed major but distinct contributions of the three PPARs in the liver. This review summarizes the findings of liver-specific PPAR-null mice and discusses the role of PPARs in the liver. Keywords: PPAR; NAFLD; NASH; insulin resistance; liver fibrosis 1. Introduction Administration of Wy-14643, nafenopin, and fibrate drugs to rodents results in hepatic peroxisome proliferation. These agents are thus designated as peroxisome proliferators (PPs) [1]. To explain a mechanism of rapid and drastic changes following PP administration, the involvement of transcription factors was assumed and the first peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR, later defined as PPARα (NR1C1)) was identified in 1990 [2].

  • Pemafibrate (K-877), a Novel Selective Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated
    Fruchart Cardiovasc Diabetol (2017) 16:124 DOI 10.1186/s12933-017-0602-y Cardiovascular Diabetology REVIEW Open Access Pemafbrate (K‑877), a novel selective peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor alpha modulator for management of atherogenic dyslipidaemia Jean‑Charles Fruchart* Abstract Despite best evidence-based treatment including statins, residual cardiovascular risk poses a major challenge for clini‑ cians in the twenty frst century. Atherogenic dyslipidaemia, in particular elevated triglycerides, a marker for increased triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and their remnants, is an important contributor to lipid-related residual risk, especially in insulin resistant conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Current therapeutic options include peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) agonists, (fbrates), but these have low potency and limited selectivity for PPARα. Modulating the unique receptor–cofactor binding profle to identify the most potent molecules that induce PPARα-mediated benefcial efects, while at the same time avoiding unwanted side efects, ofers a new therapeutic approach and provides the rationale for development of pemafbrate (K-877, Parmodia™), a novel selective PPARα modulator (SPPARMα). In clinical trials, pemafbrate either as monotherapy or as add-on to statin therapy was efec‑ tive in managing atherogenic dyslipidaemia, with marked reduction of triglycerides, remnant cholesterol and apoli‑ poprotein CIII. Pemafbrate also increased serum fbroblast growth factor 21, implicated in metabolic homeostasis. There were no clinically meaningful adverse efects on hepatic or renal function, including no relevant serum creati‑ nine elevation. A major outcomes study, PROMINENT, will provide defnitive evaluation of the role of pemafbrate for management of residual cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes patients with atherogenic dyslipidaemia despite statin therapy.

Steatosis is the initial stage of the disease, which is characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, which can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with inflammation and various levels of fibrosis that further increase the risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is influenced by interactions between genetic and environmental factors and involves several biological processes in multiple organs.

Their crucial biological roles dictate the significance of PPAR-targeting synthetic ligands in medical research and drug discovery. Clinical implications of PPAR agonists span across a wide range of health conditions, including metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, infections, autoimmune diseases, neurological and psychiatric disorders, and malignancies. In this review we aim to consolidate existing clinical evidence of PPAR modulators, highlighting their clinical prospects and challenges. Findings from clinical trials revealed that different agonists of the same PPAR subtype could present different safety profiles and clinical outcomes in a disease-dependent manner.

  • Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors
    PPAR Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors PPARs (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) are ligand-activated transcription factors of nuclear hormone receptor superfamily comprising of the following three subtypes: PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARβ/δ. PPARs play essential roles in the regulation of cellular differentiation, development, and metabolism (carbohydrate, lipid, protein), and tumorigenesis of higher organisms. All PPARs heterodimerize with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and bind to specific regions on the DNA of target genes. Activation of PPAR-α reduces triglyceride level and is involved in regulation of energy homeostasis. Activation of PPAR-γ enhances glucose metabolism, whereas activation of PPAR-β/δ enhances fatty acids metabolism. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 PPAR Inhibitors, Agonists, Antagonists, Activators & Modulators 13-Oxo-9E,11E-octadecadienoic acid 15-Deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2 Cat.
