Relevant academic research and scientific papers

Hypogylcemic oxaluric acid derivatives

Pharmaceutical compositions containing an oxaluric acid derivative of the formula: STR1 wherein each of R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen; an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group; or R1 and R2 are joined to form a heterocyclic ring with the nitrogen atom to which they are both attached; and R3 is hydrogen or an alkyl group. These compounds have excellent hypoglycemic effects with low toxcicity and safety.

Pharmaceutical composition containing an imidazolidinetrione derivative or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof

Pharmaceutical compositions containing imidazolidinetrione derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof having hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. The compositions comprise as an active ingredient at least one imidazolidinetrione derivative of the formula: STR1 wherein each of R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or STR2 and each of R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen, halogen, a nitro group, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy group.
