Abstract

In addition to lowering blood pressure, telmisartan, an angiotensin (AT1) receptor blocker, has recently been shown to exert pleiotropic effects as a partial agonist of nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). On the basis of these findings and docking pose similarity between telmisartan and rosiglitazone in PPARγ active site, two classes of benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as dual PPARγ ...
