The present application provides cis 3,4-dihydroxy-2-(3-methylbutanoyl)-5-(3- methylbutyl)-4-(4-methylpentanoyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one derivatives and substantially enantiomerically pure compositions thereof. These derivatives include (+)-( 4S,5R )- 3,4- dihydroxy-2-(3-methylbutanoyl)-5-(3-methylbutyl)-4-(4-methylpentanoyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one, (-)-(4 R,5S )-3,4-dihydroxy-2-(3-methylbutanoyl)-5-(3-methylbutyl)-4-(4- methylpentanoyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one, and salts and crystals thereof. The application further provides methods of using the disclosed compounds and compositions to activate PPAR Ƴ , activate GPR120, inhibit inflammation, and treat conditions responsive to PPAR Ƴ modulation, conditions responsive to GPR120 modulation, and metabolic disturbances such as diabetes. |
