Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors with a chlorinated phthalimide or a thiophthalimide skeleton, derived from thalidomide, were found to possess liver X receptor (LXR) antagonistic activity. Novel LXR antagonists with a 2'-substituted phenylphthalimide skeleton were obtained by structural development of glucosidase inhibitors derived from thalidomide.
