3LMP - PubMed Abstract: 
In an investigation of (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives with a plasma glucose-lowering effect, we found that N-benzylcarboxamide derivative 4 was a partial agonist of PPARgamma. A SAR study of the substituents on carboxamide nitrogen afforded the N-(1-naphthyl)methylcarboxamide derivative 23 as the most potent selective PPARgamma modulator ...
