A series of compounds related to ethyl 4-benzyloxybenzoate was synthesized and evaluated for potential hypolipidemic activity in rats. Structure--activity relationships are discussed in terms of cholesterol-lowering activity together with effects on weight gain and liver lipids. A number of the compounds inhibited cholesterol and free fatty acid biosynthesis from [1-14C]acetate in rat liver slices in vitro. Ethyl 4-benzyloxybenzoate, ethyl-4-benzyloxybenzoic acid, ethyl 4-p-bromobenzyloxybenzoates, and 4-o-methoxybenzyloxyphenyl acetate exhibited the most favorable spectrum of activity.
Synthesis and Characterization of Radioiodinated MD-230254: A New Ligand for Potential Imaging of Monoamine Oxidase B Activity by Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography.
A series of iodinated analogues of MD-230254 was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory potency and selectivity toward monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). Among them, 5-[4-(2-iodobenzyloxy)phenyl]-3-(cyanoethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)one (2-IBPO) was found to have high inhibitory potency and selectivity toward MAO-B (IC50=2.0 nM, MAO-A/MAO-B >50000). Analysis of the inhibition kinetics indicated that 2-IBPO
