Abstract

A series of 2-oxiranecarboxylate derivatives was prepared as carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT- -I) inhibitors for the development of new antidiabetic agents. The syntheses and biological activities were reported. The most promising derivative, 15b showed 2.5 times more hypoglycemic activity and 2 times lower acute toxicity compared to Etomoxir.
