Pharmacological Test Example 1
Using rats with Triton-induced hyperlipidemia, preventive and therapeutic effects of the compounds of the invention on hyperlipidemia were tested according to the method of Kuroda et al. �Biochem. Biophys. Acta., 489, 119 (1977)! as follows.
Five 6- to 7-week-old male Wistar rats (a test group) were intravenously injected in the tail with a solution of 300 mg per kg body weight of Triton (Triton WR 1339) in physiological saline and simultaneously dosed orally with 100 mg per kg body weight of a test compound as suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na aqueous solution.
As a control group, five rats were injected with the above-mentioned Triton and orally dosed with a 0.5% CMC-Na solution free of the test compound.
Twenty four hours after the administration of Triton, blood samples were taken from the rats and the amount of triglyceride (TG) in the plasma was determined with the aid of Triglyceride G-Test Wako (product of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).
The TG decrease (%) in the plasma was calculated from TG amounts of the test group and the control group by the following equation. No food was given to the rats during the period from the Triton administration to the completion of the blood sampling, although they were free to drink water. ##EQU1##
Table 4 shows the results.

It is apparent from Table 4 that all the test compounds according to the invention can reduce the amount of TG and are effective in preventing or treating hyperlipidemia.
Pharmacological Test Example 2
Hypoglycemic effects of the compounds of the invention were tested using mice as follows.
Five 8- to 10-week male KKAy mice (a test group) were free to take water and powder feed (CFR-1, product of Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.) containing 0.1 wt. % of a test compound for four days. On day 5, blood samples were taken from their eyegrounds and the amount of blood glucose was determined using a glucose sensor (product of Daikin Industries, Co., Ltd.).
As a control group, five mice were provided with test compound-free feed. Blood glucose decrease (%) was calculated from glucose amounts of the control group and the test group by the following equation. ##EQU2##
Table 5 shows the results.
TABLE 5______________________________________Test compound Blood glucose decrease(Example No.) (%)______________________________________3 2326 30______________________________________
It is apparent from Table 5 that the compounds of the invention have hypoglycemic effects and are effective in treating diabetes.
Pharmacological Test Example 3
Hypoglycemic effects of the compounds of the invention were tested using rats as follows.
Five 6-week-old male Wistar rats (a test group) were abdominally injected with 0.5 mg per kg body weight of dexamethasone (a Decadron S injection solution; product of Bannyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) once a day for four days. Also, immediately after each daily administration, 100 mg per kg body weight of a test compound as dissolved in a 5% gum arabic solution was orally administered. Four hours after the administration of dexamethasone on day 4, the rats were decapitated to take blood samples and the samples were subjected to centrifugation (3000 rpm, 4.degree. C., 15 min.). The amount of glucose in the blood serum was determined with the aid of Glucose C II-Test Wako (product of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). The rats had free access to feed at first but were deprived of the food 24 hours before the blood sampling.
As a control group, five rats were orally dozed with a test compound-free 5% gum arabic solution, and as a normally-conditioned group, other five rats were given only free access to feed. The amounts of glucose in the blood serum of these groups were determined in the same manner as above. The blood glucose decrease (%) was determined from the glucose amounts of each of the three groups (the average values) by the following equation. ##EQU3##
Table 6 shows the results.

It is apparent from Table 6 that the compounds of the invention have excellent hypoglycemic effects and are effective in treating diabetes.
Formulation Example 1
Manufacture of tablets
Using the compound obtained in Example 26 as an active ingredient, tablets (2000 tablets) each containing 250 mg of the active ingredient were manufactured according to the following formula.
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (g)______________________________________Compound of Example 26 500Lactose (product of Japanese pharmacopeia: JP) 67Corn starch (JP) 33Carboxymethyl cellulose calcium (JP) 25Methylcellulose (JP) 12Magnesium stearate (JP) 3Total 640______________________________________
According to the above formula, the compound of Example 26, lactose, corn starch and carboxymethyl cellulose calcium were well blended and granulated using an aqueous solution of methyl cellulose. The granulated mixture was passed through a 24-mesh sieve and the granules under the sieve were mixed with magnesium stearate and compression-molded into the desired tablets.
Formulation Example 2
Manufacture of capsules
Using the compound obtained in Example 16 as an active ingredient, hard gelatin capsules (2000 units) each containing 250 mg of the active ingredient were manufactured according to the following formula.
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (g)______________________________________Compound of Example 16 500Crystalline cellulose (JP) 60Corn starch (JP) 34Talc (JP) 4Magnesium stearate (JP) 2Total 600______________________________________
Thus, according to the above formula, the ingredients were reduced to fine powder and blended to give a homogeneous composition. This composition was filled into proper-sized gelatin capsule shells for oral administration to provide the desired capsules.
