-glucose cotransporter inhibitor, which is high in yield, is simple in operation, is low in cost, is suited for environmental protection, and is advantageous industrially, the process being characterized by reducing and deprotecting at least one compound selected from penta-acyl compounds and tetra-acyl compounds or salts thereof to obtain a C-glycoside compound; and a useful intermediate for synthesis of such an azulene derivative, obtained in the course of the above process.
The present invention provides an azulene derivative and a salt thereof, wherein an azulene ring is bonded to a benzene ring directly or via a lower alkylene which may be substituted with a halogen atom and the benzene ring is directly bonded to the glucose residue, and it is usable as a Na+-glucose cotransporter inhibitor, especially for a therapeutic and/or preventive agent for diabetes such as insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes) and insulin-independent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), as well as diabetes-related diseases such as insulin-resistant diseases and obesity.
