PHENYLACETIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

Phenylacetic acid derivatives with which the present invention is concerned are compounds of the general formula (I) (I), wherein A is an aryl radical which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkyl-substituted amino or aryloxy, or a heterocyclic ring system which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, Y is a valency bond or an unbranched or branched alkylene radical containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms or lower alkyl radicals; and the physiologically compatible salts and esters thereof. The compounds and the physiologically compatible salts and esters thereof possess surprisingly outstanding hypoglycaemic and/or hypolipidaemic properties.
