AOP Evidence
Antagonist binding to PPARα leading to body-weight loss
GW6471 - Specifically designed molecules such as the PPARα antagonists GW6471 can bind to PPARα selectively recruiting binding of co-repressors to the PPARα nuclear signaling complex (Xu et al 2002).
Event Evidence
Binding as antagonist, Antagonist binding to PPARalpha ligand binding domain
In Xu et al (2002), X-ray crystallography was used to characterize the suppressed PPARα signaling complex (PPARα / GW6471 / SMRT) and was compared against the activated PPARα complex which included binding of PPARα with the agonist GW409544 and the co-activator, steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1).
Binding of antagonist, PPAR alpha
Binding to PPAR alpha is implied given observations of inhibited PPAR alpha nuclear signaling inhibition by nitrotoluenes (Wilbanks et al 2014).
stabilization, PPAR alpha co-repressor
There is no evidence text for this event.

Chemical/Category Description
GW6471 is a pharmaceutical developed for human diabetes research. GW6471 was designed specifically to inhibit PPAR alpha signaling (Xu et al 2002).
Characterization of Exposure
GW6471 was administered in biochemical and cell-free assays (Xu et al 2002).
