摘要

Novel 2,4-oxazolidinedione compounds of the formula: <IMG> wherein R is a hydrocarbon residue or a heterocyclic group each of which may be substituted; Y is -CO-, -CH(OH)- or -NR3- (wherein R3 is an alkyl group which may be substituted); m is 0 or 1; n is 0, 1 or 2; X is CH or N; A is bivalent straight or branched hydrocarbon chain residue having 1 to 7 carbon atoms; R1 and R2 each are hydrogen or an alkyl group, or R1 and R2 are combined with each other to form a 5- to 6-membered heterocyclic group optionally containing nitrogen; L and M each are hydrogen, or L and M are combined with each other to form a bond, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having excellent hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities and are useful as antidiabetics or hypolipidemic agents.
