Compounds which are useful as inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis and thus as hypocholesterolemic agents are provided which have the structure
wherein Q is
or a bond;
n is 1 to 4; X is O, -NH- or -NR⁴-;
R, R¹ and R1a are the same or different and are H, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, or a metal ion;
R² and R³ may be the same or different and are H or halogen; and
R⁴ is lower alkyl;
with the proviso that when X is oxygen, n is 2, 3, or 4.
A method for using such compounds to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis is also provided.
