Claims29
A method of reducing impaired glucose tolerance in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound according to Formula I:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
- R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —(C1-C8)alkyl, —(C1-C8)alkenyl, —(C1-C8)alkynyl, unsubstituted or substituted -ara(C1-C6)alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted -heteroara(C1-C6)alkyl, where the substituents on said substituted ara(C1-C6)alkyl and substituted heteroara(C1-C6)alkyl are selected from the group consisting of halogen, —CN, —NO2, —NH2, —NH(C1-C6)alkyl, —N[(C1-C6)alkyl)]2, —OH, halo(C1-C6)alkyl, —(C1-C6)alkoxy, halo(C1-C6)alkoxy, —SH, thio(C1-C6)alkyl, —SONH2, —SO2NH2, —SO—(C1-C6)alkyl, —SO2—(C1-C6)alkyl, —NHSO2(C1-C6)alkyl, and —NHSO2NH2;
- R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —(C1-C8)alkyl, —(C1-C8)alkenyl, —(C1-C8)alkynyl, unsubstituted or substituted -ara(C1-C6)alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted -heteroara(C1-C6)alkyl, where the substituents on said substituted ara(C1-C6)alkyl and substituted heteroara(C1-C6)alkyl are selected from the group consisting of halogen, —CN, —NO2, —NH2, —OH, halo(C1-C6)alkyl, —(C1-C6)alkoxy, halo(C1-C6)alkoxy, —SH, thio(C1-C6)alkyl, —SONH2, —SO2NH2, —SO—(C1-C6)alkyl, —SO2—(C1-C6)alkyl, —NHSO2(C1-C6)alkyl, and —NHSO2NH2;
- R3, R4, R7, R8, R9, R10, R13 and R14 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and —(C1-C6)alkyl;

- R11 and R12 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —(C1-C6)alkyl and —OH, provided that both R11 and R12 cannot be —OH;
- m is 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- n is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- o is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- p is 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- q is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- and
- r is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
A method of treating or preventing diabetes in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound according to Formula I:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
