PPARs in Clinical Experimental Medicine after 35 Years of Worldwide Scientific Investigations and Medical Experiments. Biomolecules 2024; 14:786. [PMID: 39062500 PMCID: PMC11275227 DOI: 10.3390/biom14070786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This year marks the 35th anniversary of Professor Walter Wahli's discovery of the PPARs (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors) family of nuclear hormone receptors. To mark the occasion, the editors of the scientific periodical Biomolecules decided to publish a special issue in his honor. This paper summarizes what is known about PPARs and shows how trends have changed and how research on PPARs has evolved. The article also highlights the importance of PPARs and what role they play in various diseases and ailments. The paper is in a mixed form; essentially it is a review article, but it has been enriched with the results of our experiments. The selection of works was subjective, as there are more than 200,000 publications in the PubMed database alone. First, all papers done on an animal model were discarded at the outset. What remained was still far too large to describe directly. Therefore, only papers that were outstanding, groundbreaking, or simply interesting were described and briefly commented on.

He L, Yuchen D, Zhang S, Hui Y, Wei N, He Y. A partial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonist isolated from the roots of Euphorbia sikkimensis. Nat Prod Res 2024; 38:656-660. [PMID: 36840631 DOI: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2183201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
Chemical constituents of the Euphorbia sikkimensis roots was investigated and twelve known compounds were isolated, including three ent-atisane diterpenes: ent-(13S)-hydroxyatis-16-ene-3,14-dione (1), ent-(5β,8α,9β,10α,11α,12α)-11-hydroxyatis-16-ene-3,14-dione (2), ent-atisane-3-oxo-16α,17-diol (3); two kaurene diterpenes: ent-kaurane-3-oxo-16α,17-diol (4), ent-kaurane-3-oxo-16β,17-diol (5); one lathyane diterpene of latilagascene B (6); two flavonoids: quercetin (7), luteolin (8); one lignin d-pinoresinol (9); one coumarin scopoletin (10); together with ethyl gallate (11), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (12). Their structures were identified based on the extensive spectroscopic analysis in comparison with the literature data. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9 were isolated from Euphorbia sikkimensis for the first time. The agonistic activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) for compounds 1, 7, 8, 9 and 11 was evaluated. Compound 1 exhibited moderate agonistic activity for PPARγ receptor with relative fluorescence intensity of 10.19 at 30.0 µM, in comparison with that of the positive control of rosiglitazone (28.50 at 2.0 µM).
