SUBSTITUTED PHENYLPROPIONIC ACID DERIVATIVES AS AGONISTS TO HUMAN PEROXISOME PROLIFERATOR-ACTIVATED RECEPTOR (PPAR) .ALPHA.

摘要

Novel substituted phenylpropionic acid derivatives capable of binding as a ligand to human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor .alpha. (PPAR.alpha.) to thereby activate the receptor and thus showing a potent effect of lowering blood lipid (cholesterol and neutral lipid) levels. Substituted phenylpropionic acid derivatives represented by general formula (1), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and hydrates of the same, and process for producing the same.
