SLU-PP-332 — Pan-ERR Agonist (Exercise-Mimetic Tool Compound)

SLU-PP-332 is a small-molecule agonist of the estrogen-related receptors (ERRα/β/γ), with greatest potency at ERRα (EC50 ≈ 98 nM). It is widely used to probe mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative metabolism, and “exercise-mimetic” programs in preclinical models. 

Identifiers
  • Other name: 4-Hydroxy-N-[(Z)-naphthalen-2-ylmethylideneamino]benzamide
  • CAS: 303760-60-3PubChem CID: 5404083
  • Formula: C18H14N2O2Core class: ERR agonist (pan), strongest at ERRα
How It Works (Plain English)
  • Activates nuclear receptors ERRα/β/γ, partnering with co-activators like PGC-1α to up-regulate genes for mitochondrial biogenesis, OXPHOS, and fat oxidation
  • Functionally mimics endurance-training signals (↑ energy expenditure, ↑ oxidative capacity) in animal and cell models. 
Why Researchers Use It
  • To map exercise-responsive transcription and mitochondrial programs in muscle/adipose models. 
  • To study metabolic syndrome/obesity pathways and insulin sensitivity in diet-induced models. 
  • To explore aging kidney/cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. 

Key Studies — What Was Tested, What Changed, Why It Matters

Exercise-mimetic effects (preclinical)
  • What was tested: ERR agonist activity of SLU-PP-332 and downstream endurance-like adaptations in mice. 
  • What changed: ↑ energy expenditure; improved fat metabolism; enhanced running/endurance capacity without increasing food intake. 
  • Why it matters: Useful tool for dissecting exercise-responsive metabolic programs without confounding activity changes.
Metabolic syndrome/obesity models
  • What was tested: ERR pan-agonism in diet-induced obesity/metabolic syndrome models. 
  • What changed: ↓ adiposity, improved glucose tolerance/insulin sensitivity, better lipid handling. [oa
  • Why it matters: Positions ERR activation as a tractable node for obesity/metabolic disease research.
Aging kidney & mitochondrial inflammation
  • What was tested: SLU-PP-332 in aging-kidney models with mitophagy/Inflammation endpoints. 
  • What changed: Reversed mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced inflammatory signaling in aged mice. 
  • Why it matters: Extends ERR agonism beyond adipose/muscle to organ aging biology.

Potential Research Applications

Mitochondria & Bioenergetics

  • TFAM/NRF1/NRF2, OXPHOS panels; mitochondrial copy-number & respiration assays

Metabolic Disease Models

  • Diet-induced obesity, fatty-acid oxidation, glucose tolerance & insulin sensitivity

Healthy Aging / Organ Function

  • Kidney/cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction; inflammatory signaling resolution

Synergistic / Comparator Agents

MOTS-c

  • Why pair: Mitochondrial peptide; combine with ERR agonism to study bioenergetics + metabolic resilience.

AICAR or AMPK Activators (comparator)

  • Why compare: Distinguish AMPK-first signaling from nuclear-receptor-first (ERR) programs.

GLP-1 / Cagrilintide (comparator)

  • Why compare: Appetite-centric vs exercise-mimetic mechanisms in weight-loss research.

Known Concerns (Context)

  • Tool compound status: Evidence is preclinical; human safety/PK not established. Design studies conservatively. 
  • Nuclear receptor breadth: Pan-ERR agonism may yield off-target transcriptional programs; include broad transcriptomics where possible. 
  • General: For laboratory research use only; not for human consumption or therapeutic use.

Specifications & Handling

  • Form: Small-molecule research compound (solid)
  • Purity: Research-grade (HPLC/MS)
  • Storage: Cool, dry; protect from light/moisture; verify lot-specific guidance
  • In solution: Typically soluble in DMSO; record solvent %, pH, and time-to-assay; minimize freeze–thaw
  • Labeling: Tamper-evident; “research use only”; CAS and lot on label
