Abstract
Compounds are disclosed which have the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 -R.sub.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of: (a) a hydrogen atom; and (b) a lower alkyl group, straight or branched chain, having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; or R.sub.1 -R.sub.2 and the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded may together form a heterocyclic group; R.sub.3 -R.sub.10 are each independently selected from the group consisting of: (a) a hydrogen atom; (b) an alkyl group, straight or branched chain, having 1 to 24 carbon atoms; (c) a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms; (d) an alkenyl group, straight or branched chain, having 2 to 24 carbon atoms; (e) a cycloalkenyl group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms and one or more non-adjacent double bonds; (f) an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; (g) an aralkyl group having 7 to 34 carbons atoms; (h) a heteroaryl group having 4 to 9 carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur; (i) a carboxyalkyl group, straight or branched chain, having 2 to 24 carbon atoms; (j) a carboxyaryl group having 7 to 34 carbon atoms; and (k) a heterocyclic group having 2 to 9 carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen; or any adjacent two of R.sub.3 -R.sub.10 may together form a cycloalkyl group or heterocyclic group; and X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom and a nitrogen atom. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and the use thereof for the treatment of disorders of glucose metabolism are also disclosed.
