In short

Curated starting set of five primary studies on two distinct ERR research compounds. This is not a systematic or exhaustive review. Summaries describe published research, not experiments performed by Condor Research.

Scope & method

Record counts describe this dataset only. A missing study or model is not evidence of absence from the literature.

Use the model, finding and limitation fields together. Source verification dates describe this dataset’s checks; they do not establish an exhaustive literature cutoff.

Start with identity

Related names and shared receptor targets do not make compounds interchangeable.

2026 · Study permalink

An orally active estrogen receptor-related receptor agonist, SLU-PP-915, enhances aerobic exercise capacity

Experimental model

Preclinical mouse exercise-capacity experiments with exposure-adjusted comparison.

Reported finding

SLU-PP-915 was reported to retain exercise-capacity activity after oral administration in the animal experiments. The authors compared it with SLU-PP-332 and reported similar activity under the tested, exposure-adjusted conditions.

Interpretation limit

This comparison does not establish human oral bioavailability, safety, clinical efficacy or universal superiority. Exposure-adjusted experimental comparisons are not instructions for use.

2024 · Study permalink

Novel pan-ERR agonists ameliorate heart failure through enhancing cardiac fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial function

Experimental model

Mouse pressure-overload model, neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and genetic dependency experiments.

Reported finding

Both structurally distinct compounds changed cardiac metabolic programs and functional endpoints in the pressure-overload model. Genetic experiments identified ERRγ as a major mediator of the observed response.

Interpretation limit

Results in this experimental disease model do not establish a cardiac treatment in humans. Findings on both compounds do not make their chemistry, exposure or performance interchangeable.

A Synthetic ERR Agonist Alleviates Metabolic Syndrome

Experimental model

Diet-induced obese and ob/ob mouse models.

Reported finding

The study reported increased energy expenditure and fatty acid oxidation, reduced fat-mass accumulation and changes in insulin sensitivity in the investigated mouse models.

Interpretation limit

These are model-specific preclinical findings, not evidence of weight-management efficacy or safety in humans. They cannot be reassigned to SLU-PP-915.

2023 · Study permalink

Development and pharmacological evaluation of a new chemical series of potent pan-ERR agonists, identification of SLU-PP-915

Experimental model

Cell-based receptor assays, protein-binding experiments, microsomal assays and in vitro/in vivo gene-expression experiments.

Reported finding

The authors identified SLU-PP-915 as compound 10s in a chemically distinct series of pan-ERR agonists. The reported gene-expression experiments showed induction of ERR target genes.

Interpretation limit

This discovery study supports chemical-probe characterization. It does not establish clinical outcomes or a universal potency ranking against SLU-PP-332; assay conditions matter.

Synthetic ERRα/β/γ Agonist Induces an ERRα-Dependent Acute Aerobic Exercise Response and Enhances Exercise Capacity

Experimental model

Skeletal muscle cell line and mouse exercise experiments.

Reported finding

SLU-PP-332 activated all three ERR isoforms in the reported assays. The researchers observed increased cellular respiration, oxidative muscle fibers and exercise endurance; the mouse endurance response depended on ERRα.

Interpretation limit

Cellular and mouse endpoints do not establish human performance effects, clinical efficacy or safety. ERRα dependence in this experiment does not establish identical dependence in every tissue.

Reading across studies

  • Shared ERR-family activity does not imply chemical identity.
  • The selected studies contain cellular and animal evidence; they do not establish human efficacy or safety. This statement describes this selected set, not an exhaustive search for human studies.
  • Mouse exercise, metabolic and pressure-overload endpoints answer different research questions and should not be pooled into a single efficacy score.
  • Publication year uses the journal issue year. The 2026 exercise-capacity article was first published online on 2025-12-01.
  • No potency league table, CAS number, chemical formula, dosing protocol or claim about product batches is inferred from this dataset.
