| abstract |
The present invention is related to aryl dicarboxamides of formula (I) and use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of obesity and/or metabolic disorders mediated by insulin resistance or hyperglycernia, comprising diabetes type I and/or II, inadequate glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholes-terolemia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In particular, the present invention is related to the use of aryl dicarboxamides of formula (I) to modulate, notably to inhibit the activity of PTPs. A is an airninocarbonyl moiety; Cy is an aryl, heteroaryl, aryl-heteroaryl, heteroaryl-aryl, aryl-aryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycle group; n is either 0 or 1; R1 and R2 are independently from each other is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or C1-C6-alkyl; R4 and R5 are each independently from each other selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxy, C1-C6 alkyl, carboxy, C1-C6 alkoxy, C1-C3 alkyl carboxy, C2-C3 alkenyl carboxy, C2-C3 alkynyl carboxy, amino or R4 and R5 may form an unsaturated or saturated heterocyclic ring, whereby at least one of R4 or R5 is not a hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl. |
