Studies on antidiabetic agents. VII Synthesis and hypoglycemic activity of 4-oxazoleacetic acid derivatives.

Abstract
As part of a search for new antidiabetic agents, 4-oxazolealkanoic acid derivatives (III) were synthesized and tested for hypoglycemic activity in mice. 4-Oxazoleacetic acids (IIIb) bearing a styryl or a suitable aliphatic hydrocarbon moiety at the 2-position showed potent activity. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of these compounds are presented.
