1. A method of inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase activity which comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- ##STR18## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein;
-- represents a single or double bond;
R1, R2, which are the same or different, are C1 to C4 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group;
R4, R5, R6, which are the same or different, are H, OH, substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C4 alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C6 alkyl, alkylaryl, arylalkoxy, ester, carboxylic acid, carboxamide, carbamate, or cyano;
R3 is a substituent identical to that of formula I providing a compound of formula II;
##STR19## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
or R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group which links to formula I directly, or by amide, carbon or ketone groups.
