A series of imidazopyridine thiazolidine-2,4-diones were designed and synthesized from their corresponding pyridines. These compounds represent conformationally restricted analogues of the novel hypoglycemic compound rosiglitazone (5). The series was evaluated for its effect on insulin-induced 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation in vitro and its hypoglycemic activity in the genetically diabetic KK mouse in vivo. The structure-activity relationships are discussed. On the basis of the in vivo potency, 5-[4-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)ben zyl]thiazolidine-2,4-dione (19a) was selected as the candidate for further studies in a clinical setting.

A combination of one or more HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (for example pravastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin, rivastatin or atorvastatin) with one or more insulin sensitizers (for example troglitazone, pioglitazone, englitazone, BRL-49653, 5-(4-{2-?1-(4-2'-pyridylphenyl)ethylideneaminooxy!-ethoxy}benzyl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione, 5-{4-(5-methoxy-3-methylimidazo?5,4-b!pyridin-2-yl-methoxy)benzyl}thiazolidine-2,4-dione or its hydrochloride, 5-?4-(6-methoxy-l-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy)benzyl!thiazolidine-2,4-dione, 5-?4-(l-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy)benzyl!-thiazolidine-2,4-dione and 5-?4-(5-hydroxy-1,4,6,7-tetramethylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy) benzyllthiazolidine-2,4-dione) exhibits a synergistic effect and is significantly better at preventing and/or treating arteriosclerosis and/or xanthoma than is either of the components of the combination alone.
