2-[2-Methyl-4-[[[4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-thiazolyl]methyl]thio]phenoxy]acetic Acid; Methyl-methyl-trifluoromethylphenyl|-thiazolyl-methylsulfanyl-phenoxy-acetic Acid; GW 1516; Endurobol

An experimental drug meant to control lipids and increase the level of HDL, or good cholesterol, in the bloodstream. A cell-permeable, thiazolyl compound that acts as a potent, high affinity, PPARδ agonist. Exhibits selectivity for PPARδ compared to PPARα and PPARγ. Does not exibit any activity against other nuclear or non-nuclear receptors. Reported to increase cholesterol efflux and ABAC1 expression in macrophages, fibroblasts, and intestinal cells.
