Provided herein are compounds and compositions useful in increasing PPAR activity. The compounds and compositions provided herein are useful for the treatment of PPAR related diseases (e.g., muscular diseases, vascular disease, demyelinating disease, and metabolic diseases).

The present invention pertains to novel dual modulators of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). The modulators of the invention were designed to provide compounds which harbor a dual activity as agonists of FXR and inhibitors (antagonists) of sEH. The invention also provides methods for treating subjects suffering from diseases associated with FXR and sEH, such as metabolic disorders, in particular non-alcoholic fatty liver or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
