Abstract
A method for reducing food intake in a subject and a method for reducing the levels of an endocrine in a subject comprising administering to the subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the formula: wherein A is alkenyl, and each of Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd is herein defined.
Claims2
A method for reducing food intake in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the formula:
- wherein
- A is alkenyl;
- and
- each of Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd is a moiety of the formula:
- in which L is —L1—L2—L3— wherein L2 is deleted, L1 is —(C(R′)(R″))n—, and L3 is deleted;
- each of R′ and R″ is hydrogen and n is 1;
- each of R1 and R5 is hydrogen, and each of R2, R3, and R4 is hydroxyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
