Selective modulators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma, and methods for the use thereof

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, there are provided a class of compounds which are capable of selectively modulating processes mediated by peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR- gamma ). The identification of such compounds makes possible the selective intervention in PPAR- gamma mediated pathways, without exerting inadvertent effects on pathways mediated by other PPAR isoforms.
