%X Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been exploited as drug targets for combating multiple diseases. Several activators with different selectivity for the PPAR α, γ, and δ subtypes have been introduced into the market or have reached advanced clinical trials. Binding assays are of utmost importance for the discovery and profiling of such PPAR ligands. Binding assays are often based on radioligands, in particular, tritiated molecules are applied. We developed synthetic procedures for tritiating various PPAR agonists and applied these radioligands for setting up a scintillation proximity assay (SPA) for PPAR α, γ, and δ. These SPAs allow to assess the binding affinities of PPAR α, γ, and δ ligands, along with their respective subtype selectivity profiles. Therefore, SPA is an important tool for hit discovery and lead optimization campaigns aimed at identifying next-generation PPAR ligands.
