Compounds of Formula I are provided: wherein:

1,3-disubstituted-2-thioxo-imidazolidine-4,5-diones as potassium channel openers

This invention provides compounds of Formula I having the structure

2,3,5-substituted biphenyls useful in the treatment of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia

The compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are, independently, hydrogen, straight chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, bicycloalkyl or aralkyl, wherein the aromatic moiety of the aralkyl group may be optionally substituted with one to three straight chain alkyl, halogen, nitro, cyano, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, trifluoromethyl or trifluoromethoxy groups; R.sub.3 is hydrogen, formyl, alkanoyl, alkenoyl, alkylsulfonyl, aroyl, arylalkenoyl, arylsulfonyl, arylalkanoyl or arylalkylsulfonyl; A is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## wherein n is 0 or 1; R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are, independently, cyano, nitro, amino, alkyl, perfluoroalkyl, alkoxy, perfluoroalkoxy, alkylamino, dialkylamino, sulfamyl, alkylsulfonamido, arylsulfonamido, alkylcarboxamido, arylcarboxamido, alkanoyl, alkylsulfonyl, perfluoroalkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, chloro, bromo, fluoro, iodo, 1-imidazolyl, carboxyl or hydrogen; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, relax smooth muscles.

Heterocyclymethylamino derivatives of cyclobutene-3,4-diones

The compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is straight chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, fluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are, independently, hydrogen or an acyl substituent selected from the group consisting of formyl, alkanoyl, alkenoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulfonyl, aroyl, arylalkenoyl, arylsulfonyl, arylalkanoyl or arylalkylsulfonyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, relaxes smooth muscles.

Substituted N-arylmethylamino derivatives of cyclobutene-3,4-diones

The compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is straight chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, fluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl; R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are, independently, hydrogen or an acyl substituent selected from the group consisting of formyl, alkanoyl, alkenoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulfonyl, aroyl, arylalkenoyl, arylsulfonyl, arylalkanoyl or arylalkylsulfonyl; A is a phenyl group with either two or three substituents of the following formula: ##STR2## wherein the positions of substitution are R.sub.2,R.sub.3 -, R.sub.2,R.sub.4 -, R.sub.2,R.sub.5 -, R.sub.2,R.sub.6 -, R.sub.3,R.sub.4 -, R.sub.3,R.sub.5 -, and R.sub.2,R.sub.4,R.sub.6 - and R.sub.2 is methyl, ethyl, fluoro, chloro, methoxy or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.3 is methyl, ethyl, fluoro, chloro, methoxy or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.4 is methyl, fluoro, bromo, methoxy or cyano; R.sub.5 is methyl, fluoro, chloro, methoxy, cyano or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.6 is methyl, fluoro, chloro, or methoxy; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, relax smooth muscles.

Substituted N-arylmethylamino derivatives of cyclobutene-3, 4-diones

The compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is straight chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, fluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are, independently, hydrogen or an acyl substituent selected from the group consisting of formyl, alkanoyl, alkenoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulfonyl, aroyl, arylalkenoyl, arylsulfonyl, arylalkanoyl or arylalkylsulfonyl; A is a substituted phenyl group of the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are, independently, cyano, nitro, amino, alkyl, perfluoroalkyl, fluoroalkyl, alkoxy, perfluoroalkoxy, fluoroalkoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, sulfamyl, alkylsulfonamido, arylsulfonamido, carbamoyl, alkylcarbamoyl, dialkylcarbamoyl, alkylcarboxamido, arylcarboxamido, alkylsulfonyl, perfluoroalkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, chloro, bromo, fluoro, iodo, 1-imidazolyl, carboxyl or hydrogen, with the proviso that R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 cannot both be hydrogen; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, relaxes smooth muscles.
