Design and synthesis of imidazoline derivatives active on glucose homeostasis in a rat model of type II diabetes. 2. Syntheses and biological activities of 1, 4-dialkyl-, …
Piperazine derivatives have been identified as new antidiabetic compounds. Structure- activity relationship studies in a series of 1-benzyl-4-alkyl-2-(4', 5'-dihydro-1'H-imidazol-2'-yl) piperazines resulted in the identification of 1-methyl-4-(2', 4'-dichlorobenzyl)-2-(4', 5'-dihydro- 1'H-imidazol-2'-yl) piperazine, PMS 812 (S-21663), as a highly potent antidiabetic agent on a rat model of diabetes, mediated by an important increase of insulin secretion ...
