The present invention includes novel retinoid compounds that have selectivity as RXR agonists on one or more isoforms of RXR, currently, RXRα, RXRβ, or RXRγ. The present compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions incorporating these compounds, therefore, are effective in treating conditions mediated by RXRs. Among other physiological responses, the compounds of the present invention reduce blood glucose and maintain body weight, and, thus, are useful for the treatment of diabetes (NIDDIM) and obesity.
本发明包括新型视黄
醇类化合物,其具有对RXRα、RXRβ或RXRγ中一种或多种同工型具有选择性的RXR激动剂。因此,本化合物及包含这些化合物的制药组合物在治疗由RXR介导的疾病方面是有效的。除了其他生理反应外,本发明的化合物可以降低血糖并维持体重,因此,对于治疗糖尿病(NIDDIM)和肥胖症是有用的。
