PPARs AGONIST ACTIVITY ENHANCING DRUG

Abstract

A lifestyle disease improving drug that enhances PPARα, δ and γ agonist activities that includes a compound having the lactone structure in accordance with the chemical formula 6-alkyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one, the alkyl containing 4, 5, or 6 carbons, and a method for synthesizing the compound. The method includes adding, stepwise, a butyllithium-hexane solution to a diisopropylamine-tetrahydrofuran solution, and then a 6-alkyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one-tetrahydrofuran solution, wherein the alkyl contains 4, 5, or 6 carbons, adding a phenylselenyl choloride-tetrahydrofuran solution to produce a reaction mixture with a phenylselenide, extracting and purifying the phenylselenide, preparing a phenylselenide-tetrahydrofuran solution with the purified phenylselenide, and adding sodium bicarbonate and an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution to the phenylselenide-tetrahydrofuran solution to produce a reaction mixture including the compound.
