1. A method of therapeutically treating chronic kidney disease in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound represented by the following structural formula:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein
R 1 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
R 2 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
Y 1 is deuterium or hydrogen; and
wherein the isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom is at least 5000; wherein the chronic kidney disease is glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, nephrotic syndrome, reflux uropathy, or polycystic kidney disease.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is —CH 3 and R 2 is —CH 3 .
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein Y 1 is deuterium.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein Y 1 is hydrogen.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of the following compounds:

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom is at least 6000.
7. A method of therapeutically treating chronic disease of the liver in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound represented by the following structural formula:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein
R 1 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
R 2 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
Y 1 is deuterium or hydrogen; and
wherein the isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom is at least 5000; wherein the chronic disease of the liver is nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, fatty liver degeneration or other diet-induced high fat or alcohol-induced tissue-degenerative conditions, cirrhosis, liver failure, or alcoholic hepatitis.

13. A method of therapeutically treating a diabetes-related disease or condition in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound represented by the following structural formula:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein
R 1 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
R 2 is selected from —CH 3 and —CD 3 ;
Y 1 is deuterium or hydrogen; and
wherein the isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom is at least 5000; wherein the disease or condition is selected from insulin resistance, retinopathy, diabetic ulcers, radiation-associated necrosis, acute kidney failure or drug-induced nephrotoxicity.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein R 1 is —CH 3 and R 2 is —CH 3 .
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein Y 1 is deuterium.
