• Description: 4-[2-(5-Methyl-2-phenyloxazol-4-yl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde is a hypolipemic agent that acts as an agonist at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). It has been shown to be effective in lowering blood glucose levels in animal models of type 2 diabetes. This compound binds to PPARα, which is expressed in the liver and adipose tissue. 4-[2-(5-Methyl-2-phenyloxazol-4-yl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde has been shown to have hypoglycemic effects by increasing the expression of genes that are involved in lipid metabolism and glucose uptake.; The mechanism of action for this compound is not completely understood but it may be related to its formyl group, which could act as a substrate for cyclization reactions.
