    • Biological Evaluations, NMR Analyses, Molecular Modeling Studies, and Overview of the Synthesis of the Marine Natural Product (−)-Mucosin 

      Nolsøe, Jens Mortansson Jelstrup; Underhaug, Jarl; Sørskår, Åshild Moi; Antonsen, Simen; Malterud, Karl Egil; Gani, Osman; Fan, Qiong; Hjorth, Marit; Sæther, Thomas; Hansen, Trond Vidar; H. Stenstrøm, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)
      Natural products obtained from marine organisms continue to be a rich source of novel structural architecture and of importance in drug discovery, medicine, and health. However, the success of such endeavors depends on the exact structural elucidation and access to sufficient material, often by stereoselective total synthesis, of the isolated natural product of interest. (−)-Mucosin (1), a fatty ...

    • Molecular modelling, synthesis, and biological evaluations of a 3,5-disubstituted isoxazole fatty acid analogue as a PPARα-selective agonist 

      Arnesen, Henriette; Haj-Yasein, Nadia N.; Tungen, Jørn E.; Soedling, Helen; Matthews, Jason; Paulsen, Steinar M.; Nebb, Hilde I.; Sylte, Ingebrigt; Hansen, Trond Vidar; Sæther, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-19)
      The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are important drug targets in treatment of metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Fibrates, acting as PPARα agonists, have been widely used lipid-lowering agents for decades. However, the currently available PPARα targeting agents show low subtype-specificity and consequently a search for more potent agonists have emerged. In this study, previously ...

    • Synthesis and biological evaluations of marine oxohexadecenoic acids: PPARα/γ dual agonism and anti-diabetic target gene effects 

      Sæther, Thomas; Paulsen, Steinar M; Tungen, Jørn Eivind; Vik, Anders; Aursnes, Marius; Holen, Torgeir; Hansen, Trond Vidar; Nebb, Hilde Irene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-18)
      Obesity and associated disorders such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have reached epidemic proportions. Several natural products have been reported as Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) agonists, functioning as lead compounds towards developing new anti-diabetic drugs due to adverse side effects of existing PPAR drugs. We recently isolated and identified (7E)-9-oxoh ...

    • Two Isomeric C16 Oxo-Fatty Acids from the Diatom Chaetoceros karianus Show Dual Agonist Activity towards Human Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) α/γ 

      Moldes-Anaya, Angel; Sæther, Thomas; Uhlig, Silvio; Nebb, Hilde Irene; Larsen, Terje; Eilertsen, Hans Christian; Paulsen, Steinar Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-25)
      The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) function as ligand-activated transcription factors that convert signals in the form of lipids to physiological responses through the activation of metabolic target genes. Due to their key roles in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the PPARs are important drug targets. However, for several of the PPAR drugs currently in use, adverse side effects ...
