Disease relevance of SR 202

  • Because it yields both antiobesity and antidiabetic effects, SR-202 may be a lead for new compounds to be used in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes [1].
  • In vivo, decreasing PPARgamma activity, either by treatment with SR-202 or by invalidation of one allele of the PPARgamma gene, leads to a reduction of both high fat diet-induced adipocyte hypertrophy and insulin resistance [1].
 

High impact information on SR 202

  • Treatment with SR-202 also dramatically improves insulin sensitivity in the diabetic ob/ob mice [1].
  • Here, we report on the identification of a new synthetic PPARgamma antagonist, the phosphonophosphate SR-202, which inhibits both TZD-stimulated recruitment of the coactivator steroid receptor coactivator-1 and TZD-induced transcriptional activity of the receptor [1].
  • In cell culture, SR-202 efficiently antagonizes hormone- and TZD-induced adipocyte differentiation [1].
  • Cell demise was attenuated by SR-202, a synthetic PPARgamma antagonist, and specificity was further verified by excluding a proapoptotic response to a PPARalpha agonist [2].
  • The specific peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) inhibitor, SR-202, failed to modulate this effect [3].
 

Associations of SR 202 with other chemical compounds

  • The ob/ob mouse is diabetic at 8 weeks and plasma glucose and insulin levels continue to rise over the next 3 weeks, and treatment with SR-202 prevents these increases [4].
