Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) Agonist

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists are a therapeutic drug class that binds to and activates one or more PPAR nuclear receptor isoforms—alpha, gamma, or delta—which function as transcription factors regulating cellular metabolism, inflammation, and energy homeostasis.

About Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) Agonist.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists are a therapeutic drug class that binds to and activates one or more PPAR nuclear receptor isoforms—alpha, gamma, or delta—which function as transcription factors regulating cellular metabolism, inflammation, and energy homeostasis.

By modulating target gene expression, these agents improve insulin sensitivity, stimulate fatty acid oxidation, lower circulating triglycerides, or reduce hepatic bile acid toxicity.

Clinically, members of this class are utilized to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (via PPAR-gamma agonism), dyslipidemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia (via PPAR-alpha agonism), and cholestatic liver disease such as primary biliary cholangitis (via PPAR-delta or pan/dual-PPAR agonism).
