Abstract
The invention concerns pharmaceutially useful heterocyclic nitromethane compounds of the formula I: ##STR1## in which ring Q is a heterocycle of 4 to 7 ring atoms, the fragment completing the ring Q having 2 to 5 atoms, one of which is carbon, oxygen, sulphur or a group of the formula --NRa--, and the remainder are carbon; Ra is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl, (2-6C)alkanoyl, trifluoroacetyl, phenyl, benzoyl, or phenyl(1-4C)alkyl, the latter three optionally substituted; and R.sup.1 R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, (1-6C)alkyl, (1-6C)alkoxy, phenyl, phenoxy or phenyl(1-4C)alkyl, the last three optionally substituted, or two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 situated on adjacent ring carbon atoms and together with said carbon atoms form a benzene ring fused to ring Q, the benzene ring itself optionally substituted, provided that when the fragment completion ring Q is of 3 atoms then at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is hydrogen; and salts thereof. Other aspects of the invention include the production of the novel compounds by analogy processes and pharmaceutical compositions of the novel compounds and of N-(nitromethylsulphonyl)morpholine for use in the treatment of diabetic complications.
