The present invention provides glucopyranosyloxypyrazole derivatives
represented by the general formula: ##STR00001## wherein R represents a
hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a group forming a prodrug; one of Q
and T represents a ##STR00002## group represented by the general
formula: (wherein P represents a hydrogen atom or a group forming a
prodrug), while the other represents a lower alkyl group or a halo(lower
alkyl) group; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a
lower alkoxy group, a lower alkylthio group, a halo(lower alkyl) group or
a halogen atom; and with the proviso that P does not represent a hydrogen
atom when R represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, or
pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which exert an inhibitory
activity in human SGLT2 and have an improved oral absorption, and
therefore are useful as agents for the prevention or treatment of a
disease associated with hyperglycemia such as diabetes, diabetic
complications or obesity, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof,
and pharmaceutical uses thereof.
