Abstract
We examine natural products which can be the ligand of nuclear receptor, PPARγ. The nuclear receptor PPARγ is activated by making a covalent bond with an electrophilic natural compound. As candidates of the PPARγ's ligands, we consider butenoic acid, cinnamic acid and decenoic acid, each of which is alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid. We find that they bind covalently to a cysteine residue in the PPARγ ligand binding pocket through a Michael addition reaction.
