SUBSTITUTED CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES

摘要

Novel substituted carboxylic acid derivatives which bind as ligand to human peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) to activate the receptor a nd thereby exhibit potent effects of decreasing neutral fat, cholesterol, and blood sugar; and a process for preparing the derivatives. Specifically, substituted carboxylic acid derivatives represented by the general formula (1), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and hydrates of the derivatives, and a process for preparing the derivatives, the salts, or the hydrates.
