In our exploratory campaign for an antihyperglycemic agent with a novel mechanism of action, (-)-Cercosporamide 1, which is known as an antifungal agent, showed a potent plasma glucose lowering effect in hyperglycemic KK/Ta mice. The trouble was that it was accompanied by a decrease in food intake and a loss of body weight. We synthesized some (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives and succeeded to separate these actions. N,O-ketal type derivatives, especially compound 10, had the most potent plasma glucose lowering effect without affecting the food consumption or body weight. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
