Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a tissue-specific and inducible transcriptional coactivator for several nuclear receptors and plays a key role in energy metabolism, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and cholesterol homoeostasis. ZLN005 is a small molecule that stimulates the expression of PGC-1α and downstream genes in skeletal muscle cells, improving glucose utilization and fatty acid oxidation at a concentration of 20 μM. Chronic administration of 15 mg/kg/day ZLN005 to diabetic db/db mice increased PGC-1α and downstream gene transcription in skeletal muscle, increasing fat oxidation and improving glucose tolerance, pyruvate tolerance, and insulin sensitivity. | [Uses]
ZLN005 increaces PGC-1α and downstream gene transcription in skeletal muscles and increases fat oxidation and improved the glucose tolerance, pyruvate tolerance, and insulin sensitivity of diabetic db/db mice. | [Synthesis]
The reaction was carried out in a magnetically stirred round-bottomed flask equipped with a condenser and placed in a temperature-controlled oil bath. O-phenylenediamine (2 mmol) was added to 4-tert-butylbenzyl alcohol (3 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 135 °C in an open (air) atmosphere. The reaction was monitored by TLC and after complete disappearance of the o-phenylenediamine or after the reaction had reached a predetermined time, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (100-200 mesh) to afford 2-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole. All products were structurally confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) data. | [in vivo]
ZLN005 (15 mg/kg; p.o.; per day for 4 weeks) decreases random blood glucose and fasting blood glucose levels over 4 weeks compared with lean mice[1]. | Animal Model: | Eight-week-old db/db mice[1] | | Dosage: | 15 mg/kg | | Administration: | Oral administration; per day for 4 weeks | | Result: | Random blood glucose and fasting blood glucose levels decreased significantly over 4 weeks compared with lean mice. |
