The present invention is related to benzoxazole acetonitriles as well as to pharmaceutical formulations containing such benzoxazole acetonitriles pof formula (I). Said benzoxazole acetonitriles are useful in the treatment of metabolic disorders mediated by insulin resistance or hyperglycemia, comprising diabetes type II, inadequate glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The present invention is furthermore related to methods of preparing benzoxazole acetonitriles (I). A is a pyrimidinyl.L is a secondary or tertiary amino group, or a 3-8 membered heterocycloalkyl, containing at least one heteroatom. selected from N, O, S or L is an acylamino moiety. R 1 is selected from the group comprising or consisting of hydrogen, sulfonyl, amino, C 1 C 6 -alkYl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenYl, C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl or C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy, aryl, halogen, carboxy, aminocarbonyl, cyano or hydroxy. |
