|
| DrugBank Description: | Cardarine (GW-501516) is a peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor-delta agonist for the potential treatment of dyslipidemia. Cardarine has been investigated for the treatment of Obesity, Lipid Disorders, and Cardiovascular Disease. |
| CAS Number: | 317318-70-0 |
| Molecular Weight: | 453.498 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in hyperlipidemia. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | -- |
| DrugBank MoA: | This drug regulates fatty acid oxidation in several tissues, such as skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Overexpression of PPARdelta using a transgenic murine model promotes an increase of muscle oxidative capability. It also plays a major role in the metabolic adaptations to western diet characterized by an excessive amount of saturated fat. |
| Targets: | Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha agonist |
| Inclusion Criteria: | Target associated |
