SN159 interacted directly with PPARα and PPARγ, which were confirmed by LanthaScreen ligand binding assay and molecular docking study. SN159 treatment leads to a significant improvement of insulin sensitivity, resulting in enhancing glucose uptake in muscle cells. SN159 stimulated adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, however, the effects were much weaker than those of PPARγ agonist troglitazone. In parallel, SN159 increased weakly the transcriptional activities of PPARα/γ, compared to the positive control. Furthermore, PPARγ activation and adipogenic differentiation by troglitazone were significantly reduced by treatment with SN159, indicating that SN159 is a partial agonist of PPARs. SN159 was able to enhance fatty acid oxidation and glucose utilization through the dual activation of PPARα/γ. Taken together, these results suggest that SN159 is a novel PPAR partial agonist, which can be used as potential therapeutic agents against type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders by enhancing glucose and lipid metabolism. ？ 2016 Korean Chemical Society, Seoul & Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
