A new series of benzoxazole 2,4-thiazolidinediones was synthesized and evaluated for hypoglycemic activity in genetically obese and diabetic yellow KK mice. 2-Arylmethyl- and 2-(heteroarylmethyl)benzoxazole derivatives showed far more potent activity than known 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives such as ciglitazone, troglitazone and pioglitazone. A facile synthesis of benzoxazole 2,4-thiazolidinediones was also established using aminophenol 2,4- thiazolidinedione (11) as a key intermediate. Details of synthesis and structure-activity relationships for this series are described.

Novel benzoxazole derivative of the formula: STR1 wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; Alk is single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkylene group, a lower alkenylene group or a lower alkynylene group; the group STR2 is a group of the formula: --CH2 -- or --CH=, and a pharmaceutically aceptable salt thereof are disclosed. Said derivative (I) and a salt thereof are useful as therapeutic agents for diabetes.
