Application Number:	06/217,524
Patent Claims:	1. A sulfonyl urea of the formula ##STR12## or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein X is alkylene or alkenylene having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by up to 3 alkyl groups each having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or by phenyl; or the group ##STR13## is a bicyclic system of the formula ##STR14## and Y is alkylene having 2 or 3 carbon atoms; R.sup.1 is alkyl having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, dialkylcycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, cycloalkenyl, or alkylcycloalkenyl in each case having 4 to 9 carbon atoms, or is methylcyclopentylmethyl, cyclohexenylmethyl, chlorocyclohexyl, methoxycyclohexyl, bicycloheptyl, bicycloheptenyl, bicycloheptylmethyl, bicycloheptenylmethyl, bicyclooctyl, nortricyclyl, adamantyl, or benzyl. 2. A compound as in claim 1 which is N-(4-[2-(3,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-pyrroline-1-carboxamido)-ethyl]-benzenesulfo nyl)-N'-4-methyl-cyclohexyl-urea. 3. A compound as in claim 1 which is N-(4-[2-(3-ethyl-4-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyrroline-1-carboxamido)-ethyl]-benzenes ulfonyl)-N'-4-methyl-cyclohexyl-urea. 4. A compound as in claim 1 which is N-(4-[2-(3,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-pyrroline-1-carboxamido)-ethyl]-benzenesulfo nyl)-N'-4-ethyl-cyclohexyl-urea. 5. A pharmaceutical composition for lowering the blood sugar level, which comprises a hypoglycemically effective amount of a sulfonyl urea or salt thereof as in claim 1 in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor. 6. A method for lowering the blood sugar level in a patient suffering from diabetes, which comprises orally administering a hypoglycemically effective amount of a sulfonyl urea or salt thereof as claimed in claim 1.
