| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Adrenoleukodystophy (ALD) is one of peroxisomal diseases which is caused by disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid beta oxidation. The novel agents for the treatment of ALD are urgently needed. many studies have been performed in ALD patients, and the cause of the disease was shown to be a hereditary defect in the expression of ABCD1 (ATP-binding cassette protein D1).In this study, We performed the structural development of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ligands for improvement of the expression level and mature of mutated ABCD1, and tried to construct the assay systems for evaluation of effects of the synthesized compounds on mutated ABCD1.
