The compounds of formula I contain at least three asymmetric C atoms and can accordingly be present as optically active enantiomers, as mixtures thereof, for example as racemates, or a diastereomers.
The compounds of formula I can be manufactured in a manner known to those of ordinary skill in the art by
a) esterifying an alcohol of the formula ##STR6## with an acid of the formula Q.sup.a --OH, wherein Q.sub.a is a group of the formula Q.sup.1 or Q.sup.3, or
b) cyclizing an acid of the formula
(Q--O,R.sup.2)CHCH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH(R.sup.1)--COOH IIb
or
c) converting the carboxy group in the group T in an acid of the formula ##STR7## wherein T is a group of the formula HOCO(X).sub.n --CO-- T.sup.1
or
HOCO--X'-- T.sup.2,

d) if desired, separating a mixture of epimers of formula I into the individual epimers.
The esterification a) can be carried out in the presence of triphenylphosphine and an azodicarboxylic acid diester such as the di-t-butyl ester of diisopropyl ester in a solvent, for example an ether such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), at room temperature (.about.20.degree.) or while cooling, for example to about 0.degree. to -5.degree. C.
The cyclization b) can be carried out in a solvent such as methylene chloride, dimethylformamide (DMF) or acetonitrile using a molecular sieve, for example in the presence of 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) and of a base such as triethylamine at room temperature (.about.20.degree.) or at a temperature up to about 50.degree.

The compounds of formula I have valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they inhibit pancreas lipase and can accordingly be used in the control or prevention of obesity, hyperlipemia, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, in mammals, both human and non-human.
The inhibition of pancreas lipase by the oxetanones of formula I can be demonstrated experimentally by measuring titrimetrically the oleic acid liberated in the cleavage of triolein by hog pancreas lipase.

The pH was held at 8 during the reaction by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The IC.sub.50 was calculated from the consumption of sodium hydroxide solution determined during 10 minutes. The IC.sub.50 is that concentration at which the lipase activity is inhibited to half of the maximum. The following Table contains the IC.sub.50 values determined for the compounds of formula I.

The acute toxicity (after single oral administration to mice) amounts to more than 5000 mg/kg for the products of Examples 3d, 3h, 3i, 3l, 4a and 10a, b, e and f.
The oxetanones of formula I can be used as medicaments, for example in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, for example in unit dosage forms such as tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions.
For the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations the products in accordance with the invention can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers. Lactose, maize starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols; depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, generally required in the case of soft gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for the manufacture of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar and glucose.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preserving agents, solubilizers, stabilizing agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, sweetening agents, coloring agents, flavoring agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, coating agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances.
As mentioned earlier, medicaments containing an oxetanone of formula I are likewise an object of the present invention, as is a process for the manufacture of such medicaments which comprises bringing an oxetanone of formula I and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical administration form. As mentioned, the compounds of formula I can be used in the control or prevention of illnesses, especially in the control or prevention of obesity, hyperlipemia, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, in mammals, both human and non-human. The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, or course, be filled to the individual requirements in each particular case. In general, in the case of oral administration a daily dosage of about 0.1 mg to 100 mg/kg body weight should be appropriate.
The oxetanones of formula I can also be added to industrially-produced foodstuffs, whereby fats, oils, butter, margarine, chocolate and other confectionery goods especially come into consideration. Such industrially-produced foodstuffs, which can contain about 0.1 to 5 wt.% of an oxetanone of formula I, and their manufacture are likewise objects of the present invention.
The following Examples illustrate the present invention in more detail, but they are not intended to limit its scope in any manner. All temperatures are given in degrees Celsius.
