Beginning with the weakly active lead structure 1, a new series of WAR agonists was developed. In vivo glucose and triglyceride lowering activity was obtained by homologation and oxamination to 3, then conversion to substituted benzisoxazoles 4 and 5. Further manipulation afforded benzofurans 6 and 7. Compound 7 was of comparable potency as a glucose and triglyceride lowering agent in insulin resistant rodents to BRL 49653.
