Design, synthesis and evaluation of carbazole derivatives as PPARα/γ dual agonists and antioxidants Original Research Article

A series of hydroxycarbazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for PPARα/γ dual agonist as well as antioxidant activities. While most compounds showed good antioxidant activity, some compounds were identified as potential PPARα/γ dual agonists as well. Compounds 10a and 16 were found to be active in animal studies.
