Abstract
Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) α, -γ and -β/δ are ligand-activated transcription factors and members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. These receptors play key roles in maintaining glucose and lipid homeostasis by modulating gene expression. PPARs constitute a recognized druggable target and indeed several classes of drugs used in the treatment of metabolic disease symptoms such as dyslipidemia (fibrates, e.g. fenofibrate and gemfibrozil) and diabetes (thiazolidinediones, e. g. rosiglitazone and pioglitazone) are ligands for the various PPAR isoforms. More precisely, antidiabetic thiazolidinediones act on PPARγ, while PPARα is the main molecular target of antidyslipidemic fibrates. Over the past few years, our understanding of the mechanism underlying the PPAR modulation of gene expression has greatly increased. This review presents a survey on terrestrial and marine natural products modulating PPARα with the objective of highlighting how the incredible chemodiversity of natural products can provide innovative leads for this "hot" target.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
