Patent ID: 10137138

Abstract:
The sulfonylurea derivatives of oleanolic acid include compounds replacing the 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid moiety found in glibenclamide with oleanolic acid. The resulting triterpenoidal sulfonylurea derivatives are compounds having the following formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The derivatives are synthesized by condensation of 3-oxo-Olean-12-en-28-oic acid with 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonamide to form an intermediate product, followed by reaction with cyclohexyl isocyanate or 4-methylcyclohexyl isocyanate to give 3a or 3b, respectively. The sulfonylurea derivative compounds were screened for their oral hypoglycemic activity in vivo using the alloxan-induced diabetic mouse model and proved more potent than either glibenclamide or oleanolic acid.
