Hybridization of non-sulfonylurea insulin secretagogue and thiazolidinedione-derived insulin sensitizer.

摘要

Hybrid compounds of non-sulfonylurea insulinotropic agents and thiazolidinedione-derived insulin-sensitizing agents were designed and synthesized. The benzylidenesuccinic acid derivative 24 was equal both to nateglinide in potency of insulin-releasing activity and to pioglitazone in insulin-sensitizing activity.
