We describe the discovery of small molecule benzazepine derivatives as agonists of human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) that displayed excellent selectivity over the PPARα and PPARγ subtypes. Compound 8 displayed good PK in the rat and efficacy in upregulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isozyme 4 (PDK4) mRNA in human primary myotubes, a biomarker for increased fatty acid oxidation.
