It is antagonistic at androgen receptors and VDR.[7] In silico modelling suggest that it has effects on thyroid hormone receptors.[8] ChemistryDerivativesMultiple derivatives of GW0742 core structure have been developed. One of the compounds has the thiazole ring replaced with an oxazole ring inhibited VDR-meditated transcription with IC50 of 660 nM. Other novel analogues which are more potent than GWO742 with reduced toxicity have been developed as well.[9] ResearchGW0742 has been shown to ameliorate experimentally induced pancreatitis in mice.[10] Additionally, it prevents hypertension in diet induced obese mice,[11] has been investigated as potential antidiabetic drug,[12] and has anti-inflammatory effects.[13] [14] See alsoReferences |
