3-Thiatetradecanoic Acid is an activator of PPAR. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors involved in fatty acid metabolism and energy homeostasis. The PPARs also play crucial roles in the control of cellular growth and differentiation. In vitro: In BT4Cn cells, 3-thiatetradecanoic acid could activate all PPAR subtypes dose-dependently. In cell culture experiments, the PPARγ-selective ligand BRL49653 moderately inhibited growth of BT4Cn cells, while administration of 3-thiatetradecanoic acid led to a marked growth inhibition. Moreover, the administration of the PPARγ-selective antagonist GW9662 abolished BRL49653-induced growth inhibition, but only marginally reduced the effect of 3-thiatetradecanoic acid . In vivo: Administration of 3-thiatetradecanoic acid increased mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidative capacity and carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity, but reduced free fatty acid and triacylglycerol levels in plasma compared to palmitic acid-treated rats and controls. 3-Thiatetradecanoic acid administration was able to affect the fatty acid composition in plasma and liver by increasing the amount of monoenes . Clinical trial: A previous study described the clinical, hematological, and biochemical safety of 3-thiatetradecanoic acid. 3-Thiatetradecanoic acid was given as a single oral dose for 7 consecutive days. No significant changes were observed in the hematological or clinical chemical parameters in blood/urine. 3-Thiatetradecanoic acid did not induce significant changes in the blood lipids or free fatty acids, but it did lead to an increase in plasma concentration of Δ9 desaturated 3-thiatetradecanoic acid. 3-thiatetradecanoic acid was found to be safe and well tolerated .
