Design and synthesis of novel antidiabetic agents

Arch Pharm Res. 2005 Feb;28(2):142-50. doi: 10.1007/BF02977705.

Abstract

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a novel series of substituted quercetins that activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) are reported. The PPARgamma agonistic activity of the most potent compound in this series is comparable to that of the thiazolidinedione-based antidiabetic drugs currently in clinical use.
