This invention is directed to methods of treating insulin resistance in a mammal which comprise administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I,
1
where the variables are defined in the specification, or the stereoisomeric mixtures, diastereomerically enriched, diastereomerically pure, enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure isomers, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof to said mammal. The compounds of formula I are growth hormone secretagogues and as such are useful for increasing the level of endogenous growth hormone. In another aspect this invention provides certain intermediates which are useful in the synthesis of the foregoing compounds and certain processes useful for the synthesis of said intermediates and the compounds of formula I. This invention is further directed to methods comprising administering to a human or other animal a combination of a functional somatostatin antagonist such as an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist and a compound of formula I.
本发明涉及治疗哺乳动物胰岛素抵抗的方法,包括向该哺乳动物施用公式I,其中变量在说明书中定义的化合物的有效量,或其立体异构混合物、对映异构体富集物、对映异构体纯物、对映异构体纯物或其药学上可接受的盐和前药。公式I的化合物是生长激素分泌素,因此对于增加内源性生长激素水平非常有用。在另一个方面,本发明提供了某些中间体,这些中间体在合成上述化合物中非常有用,并且提供了某些合成上述中间体和公式I化合物的方法。本发明还涉及向人类或其他动物施用功能性生长抑素拮抗剂(如α-2肾上腺素受体激动剂)和公式I化合物的组合的方法。
