Substituted thiazoles useful for treatment of diabetes

European Patent Application EP-A-5848, published on Dec. 12, 1979 discloses certain substituted thiazoles and oxazoles which may be represented by the formula: ##STR2## in which X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, Alk represents a straight-chained or branched alkylene group with 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and n represents the number 0 or 1. These compounds are said to have valuable pharmacological properties, in particular a stimulating action on cardiac .beta.-receptors, for example a positive inotropic or positive chronotropic action.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found, surprisingly, that new substituted thiazoles and oxazoles of the formula ##STR3## their optical isomers (or "enantiomers") and diastereomers (or "diastereoisomers"), since these new compounds contain one or more optically active carbon atoms, and their acid addition salts have valuable properties.
Thus, the lactams of formula I, in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 taken together represent --CH.sub.2 CO--, their optical isomers and diastereomers, represent valuable intermediates for the preparation of the morpholines of formula I, in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together represent an ethylene (--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --) group. These morpholines and the other compounds of formula I (excepting the lactams), the optical isomers, diastereomers and acid addition salts thereof, in particular the physiologically tolerated acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, have quite different pharmacological properties than as noted above in said EP-A-5848 application, namely, an action on the metabolism, preferentially a blood sugar lowering and body fat reducing action as well as causing a reduction in the levels of atherogenic .beta.-lipoproteins VLDL and LDL. In addition, some of the above mentioned compounds also have an anabolic action.
In the above formula I:
A is n-alkylene of 2 to 3 carbons, optionally mono- or di-substituted with methyl or ethyl,
X is oxygen or sulphur,
R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo of atomic weight less than 80 (i.e., fluoro, chloro and bromo), trifluoromethyl, alkyl, phenyl, piperidino, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkanoylamino and benzoylamino,
R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl,
R.sub.3 is hydrogen or alkyl, optionally substituted in the 2- or 3-position by hydroxyl,
R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of phenyl, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, and, in the 2- or 3-position, hydroxyl, and alkenyl,
R.sub.3 together with R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of alkoxycarbonylmethylene, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 CO-- and --COCH.sub.2 --, and
R.sub.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, alkoxy, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkoxy having 1 to 6 carbons and substituted by a terminal member selected from carbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl and dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkoxy having 2 to 7 carbons and substituted by a terminal member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, alkoxy, phenylalkoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, pyrrolidino, piperidino and hexamethyleneimino and ethylene optionally substituted by alkyl and substituted by a terminal member selected from the group consisting of carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl and dialkylaminocarbonyl,

The new compounds of formula I are obtained according to the following processes:
a) reaction of a compound of the general formula ##STR5## with a compound of the general formula ##STR6## (in which R.sub.1 to R.sub.3, A and X each are as hereinbefore defined,
Z.sub.1 represents a nucleophilic leaving group, and
Z.sub.2 represents a R.sub.4 --NH group, or
Z.sub.2 represents a nucleophilic leaving group, and
Z.sub.1 represents a R.sub.4 --NH group, R.sub.4 being as hereinbefore defined, and
R.sub.5 ' has the meanings mentioned hereinbefore for R.sub.5, it not being possible, however, for R.sub.5 ' to represent any of the alkoxycarbonylmethoxy groups mentioned hereinbefore, and it being possible for a carboxyl, amino or alkylamino group contained in the radical R.sub.5 to be protected by a protecting group), and, where appropriate, subsequent elimination of a protecting group which has been used.
Examples of suitable nucleophilic leaving groups are halogen atoms or sulphonyloxy groups, for example a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, the methane-sulphonyloxy, p-toluenesulphonyloxy or ethoxy-sulphonyloxy group,
and examples of suitable protecting groups for a carboxyl group are the benzyl, tert.butyl, tetrahydropyranyl, trimethylsilyl, benzyloxymethyl, 2-chloroethyl or methoxyethyl groups, or a phenacyl group such as the benzoylmethyl group,
and examples of suitable protecting groups for an amino or alkylamino group are the acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or benzyl groups.
The reaction is expediently carried out in a solvent or solvent mixture, such as acetone, diethyl ether, methylformamide, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, benzene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene/tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or in an excess of the compounds of formulae II and/or III which are used and, where appropriate, in the presence of an acid-binding agent, for example an alcoholate such as potassium tert.butylate, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate, an alkali metal amide such as sodamide, an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride, a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine or pyridine, it also being possible for the latter simultaneously to serve as solvent, or of a reaction accelerator such as potassium iodide, depending on the reactivity of the radical which can undergo nucleophilic exchange, expediently at temperatures between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., preferably at temperatures between 50.degree. and 120.degree. C., for example at the boiling point of the solvent used. However, it is also possible to carry out the reaction without a solvent. However, the reaction is particularly advantageously carried out in the presence of a tertiary organic base or of an excess of the amine of formula II or III which is used.
The subsequent elimination, where appropriate, of a protecting group which has been used is preferably carried out by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, for example in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid, or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, at temperatures between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. The elimination of a benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl radical is, however, preferably effected by hydrogenolysis, for example with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, where appropriate with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, at temperatures between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., but preferably at room temperature, and under a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar.
(b) Reduction of a Schiff's base, which is optionally formed in the reaction mixture, of the formula ##STR7## (in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as hereinbefore defined, and
Y represents a group of the formula ##STR8## R.sub.3 and A being as hereinbefore defined, R.sub.5 " having the meanings mentioned hereinbefore for R.sub.5, but it being possible for an amino or alkylamino group contained in the radical R.sub.5 to be protected by a protecting group, and
R.sub.6 together with an .sup..alpha. hydrogen atom of the adjacent carbon atom of the radical A representing a further bond), and, where appropriate, subsequent elimination of a protecting group which has been used.
Examples of suitable protecting groups for an amino or alkylamino group are the acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butoxy-carbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, ethoxy-carbonyl or benzyl groups.
The reduction is carried out in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl acetate or ethanol/ethyl acetate, with a metal hydride such as lithium aluminium hydride, diborane, sodium cyanoborhydride or borane/dimethyl sulphide, but preferably with sodium borohydride, or with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as platinum, palladium/charcoal or Raney nickel, under a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 bar, or with hydrazine in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as platinum, palladium/charcoal or Raney nickel, at temperatures between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., preferably at room temperature. On reduction with a complex metal hydride such as lithium aluminium hydride, diborane or borane/dimethylsulphide it is possible for a carbonyl group present in the radical R.sub.5 " also to be reduced to a methylene group.
The subsequent elimination, where appropriate, of a protecting group which has been used is preferably effected by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, for example, in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. However, the elimination of a benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl radical is preferably effected by hydrogenolysis, for example with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, where appropriate with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., but preferably at room temperature, and under a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably of 3 to 5 bar.

As already mentioned the new compounds can exist in the form of their enantiomers, enantiomer mixtures or racemates, or, where they contain at least two asymmetric carbon atoms, in the form of their diastereomers or diastereomer mixtures.
Thus, the compounds of formula I which have been obtained and which contain only one optically active centre can be separated into their optical antipodes by methods known per se (see Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics in Stereochemistry", Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) as, for example by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reaction with an optically active substance, in particular acids, which forms salts with the racemic compound, and separation of the mixture of salts obtained in this manner, for example on the basis of different solubilities, into the diastereomeric salts, from which the free antipodes can be liberated by the action of suitable agents. Examples of particularly useful optically active acids are the D-and L-forms of tartaric acid, di-O-toluyl tartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I which have been obtained and have at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms can be separated into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known per se, for example by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation. A pair of enantiomers which has been obtained in this way can be separated into its optical isomers as described above. If, for example, a compound of formula I contains two optically active carbon atoms then the corresponding (R R', S S') and (R S', S R') forms are obtained.
The compounds used as starting materials, which, of course, can also be used in their optically pure forms, are obtained by processes known from the literature (see "Thiazole and its Derivatives" in Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 34, and Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vol. 17, page 100 (1974)) or are themselves known from the literature. Some of them are present only in the reaction mixture, and thus some of them cannot be isolated.
The compounds which are used as starting materials, of formula II in which Z.sub.1 represents a nucleophilic leaving group, are obtained by reduction of a corresponding acetyl compound, for example with a complex metal hydride and, where appropriate, subsequent alkylation.
A compound of formula IV which need not be isolated is obtained by reaction of a compound of the general formula ##STR23## with a carbonyl compound of the formula ##STR24## or by reaction of an amine of the formula ##STR25## with a glyoxal of the formula ##STR26## (in which R.sub.1 to R.sub.3, R.sub.5, A and X are as hereinbefore defined
R.sub.5 " has the meanings mentioned hereinbefore for R.sub.5 whilst an amino or alkylamino group contained in the radical R.sub.5 may be protected by a protecting group, and
Z.sub.3 together with one hydrogen atom on the adjacent carbon atom of the radical A represents an oxygen atom) in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, dioxan, benzene or toluene and, where appropriate, in the presence of a water-abstracting agent such as p-toluenesulphonic acid or a molecular sieve, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and the boiling point of the solvent used, but preferably in benzene or toluene by azeotropic distillation of the reaction mixture.
A compound which is necessary for the preparation of these starting compounds having the formula ##STR27## (in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as hereinbefore defined is obtained by bromination of the corresponding acetyl compounds in glacial acetic acid or hydrogen bromide/glacial acetic acid at temperatures between 20.degree. and 100.degree. C., or, where R.sub.2 in the 5-position represents a hydrogen atom, and X represents a sulphur atom, by ring closure of the corresponding thioamides with dibromodiacetyl in a solvent such as diethyl ether or acetonitrile. Furthermore, for example the above-mentioned acetyl compounds are obtained, when R.sub.2 in the 4-position represents a methyl group and X represents a sulphur atom, by reaction of a corresponding thioamide with 3-chloroacetoacetone in water, ethanol, water/ethanol or in a melt (see Z. Chem. 9, 187 (1969)) or, when R.sub.2 in the 5-position represents a methyl group and X represent an oxygen or sulphur atom, by reaction of a corresponding acylaminoacetoacetone with dehydrating agents (see Chem. Ber. 84, 96 (1951) and Chem. Ber. 93, 1998 (1960)) or with phosphorus pentasulphide or with 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetan-2,4-disulphide.
An amino-ketone of formula VII is obtained in the reaction mixture by reaction of corresponding bromoacetyl derivative with an appropriate amine or with urotropine, followed by hydrolysis.
The compounds which are used as starting materials having the formulae VIII, X, XIII, XV and XX are expediently obtained by alkylation of an appropriate amine.
The compounds which are used as starting materials and have the formula XII are obtained by acylation of an appropriate amine.
A compound which is used as starting material and has the formula XXI is obtained for example by reaction of an appropriate bromohydrin with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution or by reaction of an appropriate aldehyde with dimethylsulphonium methylide at 0.degree. C. in dimethyl sulphoxide/tetrahydrofuran.
A corresponding glyoxal is obtained, for example, by reaction of an appropriate bromoacetyl compound of formula XXVI with dimethyl sulphoxide at room temperature.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I which have been obtained can be converted into their acid addition salts, in particular for pharmaceutical use into their physiologically acceptable salts, with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of suitable acids for this purpose are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid.
As already mentioned above, the new compounds of formula I in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together denote an ethylene group in which the methylene group attached to the N atom is replaced by a carbonyl group (see Formula XIX) represent valuable intermediates for the preparation of the morpholines of formula I.
The other new compounds of formula I (excepting the lactams), their enantiomers, enantiomer mixtures or racemates, or, where they contain at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms, their diastereomers or diastereomer mixtures, and their acid addition salts, in particular for pharmaceutical use their physiologically acceptable acid addition salts, have valuable pharmacological properties, besides an inhibition effect on platelet aggregation, in particular an action on the metabolism, preferentially a blood sugar lowering and body fat reducing action. The present invention thus provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective blood sugar lowering amount, or an effective antiadipose amount, of a compound of Formula I, other than the lactams thereof, in combination with a nontoxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In addition, some of the above-mentioned compounds also have an anabolic action as well as causing a reduction in the levels of atherogenic .beta.-lipoproteins PG,43 VLDL and LDL. In this connection, where R.sub.1 represents a trifluoromethyl group, the diastereomer which has proved to be particularly preferred is the one whose proton in the 5-position of the thiazole ring is located at lower field in the CDCl.sub.3 /CD.sub.3 OD-NMR spectrum in the morpholine series and in the CDCl.sub.3 -NMR spectrum in the ethanolamine series.

1. Antidiabetic action:
The antidiabetic action of the compounds according to the invention can be measured as a blood sugar lowering action in experimental animals. For this purpose, the substances for investigation were suspended in 1.5% methyl cellulose and administered by gavage to female mice of our own breed. 30 minutes later 1 g of glucose per kg of body weight was dissolved in water and administered subcutaneously. A further 30 minutes later blood was taken from the retroorbital venus plexus. Glucose in the serum was determined by the hexokinase method using an analytical photometer.
The Table which follows lists the lowerings of blood sugar, as a % of a parallel control group, observed in this design of experiment. Statistical analysis employed Student's t-test with p=0.05 as significance limit.

2. Antiadipose action:
The antiadipose action of the compounds according to the invention was demonstrated using two experimental procedures:
a) In the first experimental procedure, the increase in lipolysis was measured by the rise in serum glycerol. The experimental procedure is identical to the experimental procedure described above for testing the blood sugar lowering action. Glycerol was determined in a combined enzymatic/colorimetric assay using an analytical photometer. The results are listed in the Table which follows, as a % of a parallel control.

b) In the second experimental procedure to detect an antiadipose action of the compounds according to the invention, the reduction in adipose tissue was measured by monitoring the ovarian adipose tissue. For this purpose, the compounds were administered by gavage in a suspension of 1.5% methyl cellulose once a day to mice. On the fifth day, the ovarian adipose tissue was dissected out and weighed. The Table which follows shows the results as a % of a parallel control group.

3. Cardiac side effects:
It was possible to rule out the occurrence of undesired side effects on the heart by the compounds according to the invention in the dose range having metabolic activity and intended for therapy. The demonstration entailed measurement of the heart rate of mice during the testing of the blood sugar lowering action (see above). One hour after the oral administration of the compounds the heart rate was determined by a ECG-triggered tachograph. The Table which follows shows the change in the heart rate as a percentage of the control group.

Furthermore, in the investigations which are described above, no toxic side effects were observed for the substances according to the invention at the doses administered. Hence they are well tolerated.
Thus, on the basis of their pharmacological properties, the new compounds of formula I (other than the lactams) and their optical isomers, diastereomers and physiologically acceptable acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, are suitable for the treatment both of diabetes mellitus and of obesity, and thus in particular for the treatment of the obese diabetic. In addition, said compounds may be used for the prophylaxis and the treatment of atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels which occur particularly frequently in the case of those suffering from diabetes and/or obesity. In this connection, it is possible entirely to suit the requisite dose to the metabolic/physiological requirements of the individual patient, since the compounds have no cardiovascular action over a wide dose range. Thus, the daily dose for adults is between 1 and 3000 mg, but preferably 1 to 1000 mg, distributed over 1 to 4 doses per day. For this purpose, the above-mentioned compounds, with or without other active substances, can be incorporated into the customary pharmaceutical unit dosage forms such as powders, tablets, coated tablets, capsules, suppositories or suspensions.
Furthermore, the above-mentioned compounds can be used for the treatment of obese animals such as dogs, and, as a consequence of their action reducing body fat (lypolysis), can be used to reduce undesired fatty deposits in fatstock rearing, that is to say to improve the quality of meat from fatstock such as pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry. The administration of the above-mentioned compounds to the animals can be affected orally or non-orally, for example as a feed supplement or by injection or by implanted minipumps. The daily dose for this purpose is between 0.01 and 100 mg/kg, but preferably between 0.1 and 10 mg/kg of body weight.
The present invention thus provides a method of treating an individual afflicted with diabetes mellitus which comprises administering to said individual an effective blood sugar lowering amount of a compound of Formula I (other than the lactams). The invention also provides a method of treating an individual afflicted with obesity, or an animal, which comprises administering to same an effective antiadipose amount of said compound.

However, particularly preferred compounds are the compounds of general formula ##STR30## wherein R.sub.21 represents a thiazol-4-yl group substituted in the 2-position by a chlorine atom or by a trifluoro-methyl group, a phenyl group optionally substituted by a chlorine atom or by a trifluoromethyl or methyl group, or a 4-amino-3-fluoro-5-cyano-phenyl group,

According to the invention, the new compounds are obtained by the following process:
Reaction of a compound of general formula
R.sub.21 --CO--CH.sub.2 --Z.sub.1 (XXVIII)
wherein
R.sub.21 is defined as hereinbefore and
Z.sub.1 represents a nucleophilic leaving group, with an amine of general formula ##STR31## wherein M, R.sub.22 and R.sub.23 are defined as hereinbefore.
Examples of nucleophilic leaving groups include halogen atoms or sulphonyloxy groups, e.g. a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom or a methanesulphonyloxy, p-toluenesulphonyloxy or ethoxysulphonyloxy group.
The reaction is appropriately carried out in a suitable solvent such as acetone, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran or dioxan and preferably in the presence of an acid binding agent such as potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, triethylamine, pyridine or in an excess of the amine of general formula XXIX used, whilst the organic binding agents may simultaneously also be used as solvent, at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C. preferably at temperatures of between 5.degree. and 50.degree. C.
It may also be advantageous for any reactive groups such as hydroxy, carboxy, amino or alkylamino groups, but particularly amino or alkylamino groups, to be protected during the reaction by conventional protecting groups.
Examples of protecting groups for a hydroxy group include the benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, tetrahydro-pyranyl, trimethylsilyl and tert.butyldimethylsilyl groups,
protecting groups for a carboxy group include the benzyl, tert.butyl, trimethylsilyl and benzyloxymethyl groups and
protecting groups for an amino or alkylamino group include the acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl and benzyl groups.
The optional subsequent cleavage of any protecting group used is preferably carried out hydrolytically in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxan/water, in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or an acid such as hydrochloric, sulphuric or trifluoro-acetic acid at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably at temperatures of between 20.degree. and 50.degree. C.
If according to the invention a compound of general formula XXVII is obtained wherein R.sub.23 represents or contains an alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl or dialkylaminocarbonyl group, this may be converted by hydrolysis into a corresponding compound of general formula XXVII wherein R.sub.23 represents or contains a carboxy group, or
if a compound of general formula XXVII is obtained wherein R.sub.23 represents or contains an alkoxycarbonyl group, this may be converted by amidation into a corresponding compound of general formula XXVII wherein R.sub.23 represents or contains an aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl or dialkylaminocarbonyl group.
Subsequent hydrolysis is carried out in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in a suitable solvent such as water, methanol, ethanol, ethanol/water, water/isopropanol or water/dioxan at temperatures of between -10.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., e.g. at temperatures of between ambient temperature and 50.degree. C.
Subsequent amidation is carried out in a suitable inert solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan or in an excess of the amine used, optionally in a pressurised vessel at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C. but preferably at temperatures of between 20.degree. and 80.degree. C.
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the new compounds may occur in the form of their enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers or racemates or, if they contain at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms, in the form of their diastereomers or mixtures of diastereomers.
Thus, the compounds of general formula XXVII obtained which contain only one optically active centre may be resolved by known methods (see Allinger N. L. and Elich W. L. in "Topics in Stereochemistry", Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical enantiomers, e.g. by recrystallisation from an optically active substance which forms a salt with the racemic compound, particularly an acid, and separating the resultant salt mixture, e.g. by means of the differential solubilities, into the diastereomeric salts from which the free enantiomers can be liberated by the use of suitable reagents. Examples of optically active acids in common use include the D and L forms of tartaric acid, di-o-toluoyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and quinic acid.
Furthermore, the compounds of general formula XXVII obtained having at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical/chemical differences using known methods, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation. A pair of enantiomers thus obtained may subsequently be resolved into their optical antipodes as described above. If for example a compound of general formula I contains two optically active carbon atoms the corresponding (R R', S S') and (R S', S R') forms are obtained.
The compounds of general formulae XXVIII and XXIX used as starting materials may be obtained by methods known per se.
Thus, for example, a corresponding thiazole derivative of general formula XXVIII is obtained by bromination of the corresponding acetyl compounds in glacial acetic acid or hydrogen bromide/glacial acetic acid at temperatures of between 20.degree. and 100.degree. C. or by cyclisation of the corresponding thioamides with dibromodiacetyl in a solvent such as diethyl ether, acetonitrile or toluene.
A compound of general formula XXIX used as starting material may, of course, also be used in its optically pure form.
Moreover, the compounds of general formula XXVII obtained may be converted into their acid addition salts, particularly, for pharmaceutical use, their physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of acids include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, phosphoric, fumaric, succinic, lactic, citric, tartaric and maleic acid.
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the new compounds of general formula XXVII, the enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers or, if they have at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms, the diastereomers or mixtures of diastereomers and the acid addition salts thereof, particularly the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts for pharmaceutical use, have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an effect on metabolism, preferably the effect of lowering blood pressure and reducing body fat and the effect of lowering the atherogenic lipoproteins VLDL and LDL. Moreover, some of the compounds mentioned above also have an anabolic activity.
For example, the following compounds were investigated for their biological properties as follows:
AA=N-[2-(4-Carbomethoxymethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(3-chlorophenyl)morpholine,
BB=N-[2-(4-Methylaminocarbonylmethoxyphenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(3-chlorophenyl)morpholine,
CC=N-[2-(4-(2-Hydroxy-ethoxy)phenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(3-chlorophenyl)morpholine and
DD=N-[2-(4-Carbomethoxtmethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-thiazol-4-yl)morpholine
1. Antidiabetic activity:
The antidiabetic activity of the compounds according to the invention can be measured as a blood sugar-lowering activity in experimental animals. The test substances are suspended in 1.5% methylcellulose and administered by stomach tube to female mice bred by the applicants. 30 minutes later 1 g of glucose per kg of body weight is dissolved in water and administered subcutaneously. Another 30 minutes later blood is taken from the retroorbital venous plexus. From the serum, the amount of glucose is determined by the hexokinase method using an analytical photometer.
The following Table shows the lowering of blood pressure observed in this test, given as a percentage of a control group conducted in parallel. Statistical evaluation is carried out using the Student t test taking p=0.05 as the limit of significance.

2. Anti-obesity activity:
To determine the anti-obesity activity of the compounds according to the invention the increase in lipolysis is measured by the increase in the glycerine in the serum. The design of the test is identical to the test described above for testing the effect of lowering blood sugar. Glycerine is determined in a combined enzymatic/colorimetric test using an analytical photometer. The results are given in the following Table as a percentage of a control group conducted in parallel.

Moreover, in the tests on the substances according to the invention carried out as described above no effects on circulation were observed at the dosages used and no toxic side effects were observed at dosages up to 30 mg/kg p.o. These substances are therefore well tolerated.
In view of their pharmacological properties the new compounds of general formula XXVII and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof with organic or inorganic acids are therefore suitable for the treatment of both diabetes mellitus and also obesity, and hence particularly for the treatment of obese diabetics. Moreover, the new compounds may be used for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic changes in the blood vessels, which occur particularly in diabetics. The dosage required can be matched entirely to the metabolic-physiological requirements of the individual patient since the compounds are free from effects on the heart and circulation over a wide dosage range. In adults, therefore, the daily dosage is between 1 and 3000 mg, preferably from 1 to 1000 mg, divided into 1 to 4 doses per day. For this purpose, the compounds mentioned above, optionally combined with other active substances, may be incorporated in the conventional galenic preparations such as powders, plain and coated tablets, capsules, suppositories and suspensions.
Furthermore, the compounds mentioned above may be used for the treatment of fat animals and, as a consequence of their body fat-reducing (lipolytic) activity, they may be used for the reduction of undesirable fat deposits in animal rearing, i.e. to improve the quality of the meat of fattened animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry. In animals, the compounds mentioned above may be administered orally or non-orally, e.g. as a feed additive or by injection or by means of implanted minipumps. The daily dosage ranges from 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, but preferably from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight.
The Examples which follow are intended to illustrate the invention:
