Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods of reducing hyperhpidemia and hyperglycemia, as well as to certain compounds and compositions
  • type II diabetes while genetic mutations can cause certain subsets of the disease (e.g., maturity-onset diabetes of the young, or MODY), the most common form of the disease involves resistance to the action of insulin on insulin-target tissues, and is associated with obesity, predominately of abdominal origin In addition to elevated glucose levels, circulating levels of triglycerides, cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) are elevated during a fasting period Persons afflicted with diabetes are predisposed to the development of cardiovascular disorders, which is the main cause of morbidity and mortality for this disease. Resistance to insulin action occurs not only in hyperglycemic states but also in Syndrome X, an insulin-resistant disorder characterized by hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia.
  • Syndrome X an insulin-resistant disorder characterized by hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia.
  • Oral antihyperglycemic agents such as the sulfonylureas and biguanides, promote improvements in elevated lipid levels through overcoming the associated state of insulin-resistance, either by potentiating the endogenous release of insulin from the ⁇ - cells of the pancreas, as in the case of the sulphonylureas, or by enhancing glucose disposal and reducing gluconeogenesis, as in the case of biguanides.
  • Other approaches to controlling the elevated lipids and glucose have involved the use of broad acting oral antihyperglycemics such as the thiazolidinedione class of agents which lower fatty acids and improve the insulin-resistant state of insulin responsive tissues.
  • non-este ⁇ fied fatty acids appear to play a role in promoting the diabetic and/or the hyperhpidemic, insulin-resistant, state Elevated free fatty acids arise from either the excess body burden of adipose tissue in the obese state or from uncontrolled breakdown of t ⁇ glyce ⁇ des in adipose tissue, a major insulin-target tissue, or both
  • elevated levels of free fatty acids have been shown to acutely induce insulin resistance in muscle, the major glucose utilizing tissue of the body, where a direct effect on glucose transport in muscle is observed
  • fatty acids affect liver metabolism to increase hepatic glucose output
  • elevated fatty acids induce impaired ⁇ - cell functioning by lessening the secretion of insulin from ⁇ - cells in response to a glucose stimulus Attempts to reduce fatty acid levels have included the development of thermogenic agents (73 agonists) which are believed to function by stimulating brown adipose tissue to oxidize fatty acids and thus clear them from the circulation Alternatively, removing
  • hpolytic inhibitors that inhibit adipose tissue breakdown of t ⁇ glyce ⁇ des are known as hpolytic inhibitors.
