Abstract
This invention relates to somatostatin agonist compounds which are potent with high selectivity toward the receptor subtype 2. The compounds provide an improved therapeutic index in the treatment of diabetes, cancer, acromegaly and retenosis. Many of the compounds are also orally active. Thus, it is an object of this invention to describe such compounds. It is a further object to describe the specific preferred stereoisomers of the somatostastin agonists. A still further object is to describe processes for the preparation of such compounds. Another object is to describe methods and compositions which use the compounds as the active ingredient thereof. Further objects will become apparent from reading the following description.
