GW 7647 is a synthetic small molecule agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα) transcription factor, which is involved in lipid homeostasis regulation. Binds PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ with EC50 of 1-10nM, ~1uM, and 1-10uM respectively. Exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, reduces NO production in macrophages, and has lipid-lowering effects.
