## Title
Pyrrole derivative

## Abstract

A novel pyrrole derivative represented by the following formula (1) and a salt thereof:




wherein R1 means substituted alkenyl, etc.; R2 means substituted benzoyl, etc.; and R3 to R5 each means hydrogen, alkyl, halogeno, etc. The derivative and salt have antidiabetic activity.

## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel pyrrole derivatives and salts thereof. In detail the present invention relates to novel pyrrole derivatives and salts thereof which have antidiabetic activity. In more detail the present invention relates to novel pyrrole derivatives and salts thereof which have antidiabetic activity improving insulin resistance and safely controlling blood sugar level.
BACKGROUND ART
Recently due to westernization of eating-habit and increase of social stress, the number of patients with diabetes mellitus has been significantly increasing. Diabetes mellitus is a disease as main cause of chronically hyperglycemia and presents the symptom of said disease by lack of insulin or an excess of inhibitory factor for activity of insulin. Namely, diabetes mellitus is characterized as absolute or relative lack of insulin activity. Diabetes mellitus is clinically classified into insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and noninsulin-independent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
Therapeutic exercise or dietetic therapy is first tried for treatment of diabetes mellitus. In case that decrease of blood sugar is insufficient even by these therapies, therapy by medicine is then tried. As an oral antidiabetic agent, sulfonyl urea (SU agent) is often used. The activity of this agent is based on promotion of insulin secretion in pancreas and therefore hypoglycemia occurs as side effect. Further, it is known that secondary inactivity occurs due to exhaustion of pancreas by plenty uses of a SU agent. On the other hand, thiazolidinedione derivatives for an antidiabetic agent, which were recently found (Diabetes 2 Nihon Rinsho, 725:125–145 (1997)), was paid attention by the reason as an agent which can control blood sugar by new mechanism showing improvement effect of peripheral insulin resistance. However, liver disturbance as significant side effect was reported on these derivatives and said derivatives have a big trouble in safety.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The problem to be solved is to provide an antidiabetic agent which improves insulin resistance and is higher in safety.
The present inventors have extensively studied to find that pyrrole derivatives improve hyperglycemia by improvement of insulin resistance and that it is superior in the safety and useful as an antidiabetic agent. Then the present invention was completed.
The present invention relates novel pyrrole derivatives and salts thereof.
Namely the present invention relates to
(1) a pyrrole derivative of a generic formula (1):

Example 202
The compound of Example 1 or the compound of Example 7 was mixed with powdered feed (CE-2, Japan Crea) as to contain the compound 0.1% and the mixture was administered to male db/db mice (7 weeks old) for 2 weeks. On last day blood was taken from tail vein and blood sugar was measured by antosence II (Sankyo-Bayern).
The value of blood sugar was degreased by 70% in case of administering 0.1% of the compound of Example 1, and by 34% in case of the compound of Example 7, respectively. The total amount of administration of the compound of Example 1, and the compound of Example 7 was 141 mg/kg, and 151 mg/kg, respectively.
Example 203 
The test compounds described in Examples (these compound were made into a free form from a salt form, a sodium salt or calcium salt, if necessary) were dissolved or suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose solution. Mice were forced to orally administer the test compound as to administer the total amount of 30 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg to male db/db mice (7 to 8 weeks old) once a day for 2 weeks. On last day, to the blood just taken from tail vein was added perchloric acid to remove proteins and then the blood sugar was measure by glucose CII Test Waco (Wako Pure Chemical Ind.).
Hypoglycemic activity was calculated as following formula:
