过氧化物酶体增长因子活化受体(peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors,PPARs)是核受体超家族中的配体激活转录因子,有3种亚型(α、β、γ),控制着细胞内多种代谢过程,代谢综合征等疾病的发生均可能与其异常调控有关,成为医学界和生物界热门研究的靶点。而目前市场上应用的合成类的PPARs激动剂伴随着一系列的副作用,因此,从天然产物中寻找安全、有效的PPARs激动剂成为当前研究的热点。
Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors(PPARs) are ligand activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, including three subtypes(α, β, and γ). PPARs are responsible for a variety of metabolic processes in the cell, and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and other diseases may be related to the abnormal regulation, which has become a hot research target in the medical and biological fields. At present, the synthesis of PPARs agonists in the market is accompanied with a series of side effects, therefore, the search for safe and effective PPARs agonists from natural products has become the main trend of current research.
