In vitro

GW9662 binds to Cys(285) on PPARgamma which is conserved among all three PPARs. This compound acts as an antagonist of PPARgamma which is confirmed in an assay of adipocyte differentiation inhibition. [1] It prevents activation of PPARγ and inhibits growth of human mammary tumour cell lines (MCF7, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231) with IC50 of 20 μM-30 μM, suggesting either the existence of PPARγ agonistic properties of this chemical or growth-inhibitory mechanisms independent of PPARγ. Co-treatment with this compound (10 μM) results in statistically lower viable cell numbers after 7 days in MDA-MB-231 cells. [2] PPARγ1 ligands could suppress RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in primary murine myeloid (BMs) and RAW264.7 cells. Importantly, suppression by these ligands is reversed in a concentration-dependent fashion with this chemical (2 μM). It (2 μM) blocks IL-4 suppression of osteoclast formation in BMs. This compound (1 μM) blocks RANKL activation of NF-κB in RAW264.7 cells. [3] GW9662 (10 μM) inhibits hormone- and agonist-induced adipogenesis of primary preadipocytes from patients with thyroid eye disease. [4]

Kinase Assay
Binding assay
The human PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ ligand binding domains (LBDs) are expressed in E. coli as polyhistidine-tagged fusion proteins. Receptors are immobilized on SPA beads by addition of the desired receptor (15 nM) to a slurry of streptavidin-modifed SPA beads (0.5 mg/mL) in assay buffer. The mixture is allowed to equilibrate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, and the beads are pelleted by centrifugation at 1×103 g. The supernate is discarded, and the beads are resuspended in the original volume of fresh assay buffer with gentle mixing. The centrifugation/resuspension procedure is repeated, and the resulting slurry of receptor-coated beads is used immediately or stored at 4 ℃ for up to 1 week before use. [3H]GW2443 are used as radioligands for determination of competition binding to PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, the buffer used for all assays is 50 mM HEPES (pH 7), 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM CHAPS, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, and 10 mM DTT. For some experiments, the HEPES (pH 7) is replaced with 50 mM Tris (pH 8).
In vivo

Pretreatment with LPS (1 mg/kg i.p.) significantly attenuates all markers of renal injury and dysfunction caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Most notably, this compound (1 mg/kg i.p.) abolishes the protective effects of LPS. [5]
