Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease, characterized by hyperglycemia. The onset of diabetes associates with insulin resistance in peripheral tissue, reduction of insulin in vivo and increase of gluconeogenesis in liver. When the disease cannot be controlled effectively through diet and exercise, insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs for treatment are needed. At present, hypoglycemic drugs comprise biguanides, sulfonylureas, insulin sensitizers, glinides, α-glucosidase inhibitors and DPP—IV inhibitors, etc. However, these current hypoglycemic drugs have shortcomings Biguanides can cause lactic acidosis. Sulfonylureas can result in severe hypoglycemia. Insulin sensitizers can lead to edema, heart failure and weight gain. α-Glucosidase inhibitors can cause abdominal bloating and diarrhea. DPP—IV inhibitors need to combine with metformin to achieve the desired effect of hypoglycemia. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel, safer, and more effective hypoglycemic agents.
It has been found by research that glucose transporter proteins are a class of carrier proteins embedded in the cell membrane for transporting glucose. Glucose must be in virtue of glucose transporter protein to cross lipid bilayer structure of cell membranes. Glucose transporter proteins are divided into two categories. The first category includes sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs), and the other category includes glucose transporters (GLUTs). Two major family members of SGLTs are SGLT-1 and SGLT-2. SGLT-1 is mainly distributed in small intestine, kidney, heart and windpipe, predominantly expressed in the intestinal brush border and the distal S3 segment of the renal proximal tubule, and a few expressed in heart and windpipe, and transports glucose and galactose with a sodium to glucose ratio of 2:1. While SGLT-2 is mainly distributed in kidney, predominantly expressed in the distal S1 segment of the renal proximal tubule, and transports glucose with a sodium to glucose ratio of 1:1. In biological bodies, glucose is transported by SGLT through active transport against a concentration gradient with simultaneous energy consumption. While glucose is transported by GLUTs through facilitated diffusion along a concentration gradient without energy consumption in the transport process. Research indicates that normally plasma glucose is filtered in the kidney glomeruli in which 90% of glucose in the early S1 segment of the renal tubule is actively transported to epithelial cells by SGLT-2 and 10% of glucose in the distal S3 segment of the renal tubule is actively transported to epithelial cells by SGLT-1, and then transported to peripheral capillary network by GLUT of epithelial basement membrane accomplishing reabsorption of glucose by renal tubules. Hence, SGLTs is the first stage in regulation of glucose metabolism in cells, and an ideal target for treating diabetes effectively. It has been found by research that the patients with SGLT-2 impairment would excrete large amounts of urine glucose. This provides the factual basis of treating diabetes by reducing glucose uptake through inhibiting SGLT-2 activity. Therefore, inhibiting activity of SGLTs transport protein could block reabsorption of glucose in renal tubules and increase excretion of glucose in urine to normalize the plasma glucose concentration and further control the diabetes and diabetic complications. Inhibiting SGLTs would not influence the normal anti-regulatory mechanism of glucose, which may cause the risk of hypoglycemia. Meanwhile, lowering blood glucose through an increase of renal glucose excretion could promote weight loss in obese patients. It has also been found by research that the mechanism of action of SGLTs inhibitors is independent of pancreatic β cell dysfunction or the degree of insulin resistance. Therefore, the efficacy of SGLTs inhibitors will not decrease with the severe insulin resistance or β-cell failure. SGLTs inhibitors could be used alone or in combination with other hypoglycemic agents. Therefore, SGLTs inhibitors are ideal and novel hypoglycemic agents.
In addition, it has also been found by research that SGLTs inhibitors can be used for treating diabetes-related complications. Such as retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney disease, insulin resistance caused by glucose metabolic disorder, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and so on. Meanwhile, SGLTs inhibitors also be used in combination with current treatment regimens, such as sulphonamides, thiazolidinedione, metformin, and insulin, etc, which can reduce the dose without impacting on the effectiveness of the medicine, and thereby avoid or educe side effects, and improve patient compliance.
In summary, SGLTs inhibitors, particularly SGLT-2 protein inhibitors, have a good prospect as novel antidiabetic drugs.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow Parker et al., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York and Eliel et al., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. The compounds disclosed herein may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein, including, but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereoisomers on the basis of their physical and chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography, crystallization, distillation, or sublimation. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reacting with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereoisomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. The intermediates and compounds of the invention may exist in tautomeric forms and all such tautomeric forms are within the scope of the invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (−) or l meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The term “racemic mixture” or “racemate” refers to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.
The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. Some non-limiting examples of proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, or geometric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope disclosed herein.
Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms.

Conclusions: The compounds described in the present invention have high selectivity and significant inhibitory effect on SGLT-2.
The following methods were used to evaluate the effects of the compounds of the invention in improving oral glucose tolerance and glycosuria excretion.
The glucose was purchased from Cheng Du Kelong Chemical Reagent Company.
Glycosuria test was determined on Roche Biochemistry Analyzer.
Blood glucose test was determined on Roche Accu-Chek Performa Blood Glucose Meter.
The weight and the blood glucose levels of C57BL/6 mice were measured after an overnight 15-hour fast. The mice were grouped by their weights and fasting plasma glucose levels. Each test group was administered the corresponding test compound once by gavage, and the blank control group was administered solvent. After 15 minutes, the blood glucose level (i.e. zero point blood glucose) of each group was measured, and each group was administered glucose (2.5 g/kg) immediately by gavage. The blood was drawn from the caudal vein of the C57BL/6 mice at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 120 minutes after glucose administration and the blood glucose levels were measured continuously on blood-glucose meter. After blood glucose level at 120 min time point was measured, each group was placed in a metabolism cage, and the urine was collected during 2.25 hours to 6 hours and 6 hours to 24 hours after drug administration with the metabolism cage as the unit. The urine volume of each metabolism cage at each point was measured and the glycosuria level was determined on automatic biochemical analyzer. The mice had free access to food and water during the urine collection.
The results of the test indicated that the compounds of the present invention have distinct effects in the improvement of oral glucose tolerance and glycosuria excretion.
