Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha) modulates the expression of liver-specific genes that control the production (e.g. apolipoprotein [apo] A-I and apo B) and clearance (e.g. apo C-III) of plasma lipoproteins. We reported that the CoA thioesters of amphipathic carboxylic hypolipidemic drugs

GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed preferentially in the intestinal tract and adipose tissue, that has been implicated in mediating free fatty acid-stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. To develop GPR120-specific agonists, a series of compounds (denoted as NCG compounds)
