The present invention relates to a class of quinoline compounds that act as insulin secretagogues, i.e., induce insulin secretion from beta cells. The present compounds may be used to induce divalent calcium cation influx in pancreatic beta-cells or to activate voltage-dependent calcium channels in pancreatic beta-cells. The present invention further relates to compounds for use in the treatment of diabetes.
Bissulfonamide derivatives of formula (I) are capable of inhibiting: a) the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids via the shikimate pathway and b) the catabolism of quinic acid, wherein: Ar is an aryl or heteroaryl group; R1 and R2 are the same or different and each represent hydrogen or alkyl or R1 and R2 together form a C1-C3 alkylene group, -CO- or -CS-; and R3 and R4 are the same or different and each represent -alkyl-aryl, -alkyl-heteroaryl, -alkenyl-aryl, -alkenyl-heteroaryl, -alkynyl-aryl-alkynyl-heterorayl, aryl or heteroaryl.
