摘要

A new 2,4-oxazolidinedione derivative is provided possessing excellent hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities. The invention relates to a 2,4-oxazolidinedione derivative represented by the general formula: wherein X represents -CH2-, -C(=O)-, -CH(OH)-, -C(=NOH)- or -CH=CH-; R represents a hydrocarbon residue or heterocyclic group which may be substituted; n represents an integer from 0 to 5, and m represents an integer from 1 to 3; ........ represents a single or double bond; provided that n is an integer from 1 to 5 when X is -C(=O)-,or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.
