Dual PPAR-alpha and -gamma activators derived from novel benzoxazinone containing thiazolidinediones having antidiabetic and hypolipidemic potential.

2,4-Thiazolidinedione derivatives of 1,3-benzoxazinone were synthesized and evaluated for their PPAR-alpha and -gamma dual activation. DRF-2519, a compound obtained through SAR of TZD derivatives of benzoxazinone, has shown potent dual PPAR activation. In ob/ob mice, it showed better efficacy than the comparator molecules. In fat fed rat model, it showed significant improvement in lipid parameters, which was better than fibrates.
