title: Synthesis and insulin-sensitizing activity of a novel kind of benzopyran derivative.
abstract: A series of benzopyran derivatives was synthesized and their insulin-sensitizing activities were evaluated in 3T3-L1 cells. Compounds 6 and 11 exhibited more potent insulin-sensitizing activity than rosiglitazone.
