Dans cette formule, R est un phényle éventuellement substitué avec un ou plusieurs groupes choisis parmi: halogène, alkyle, perfluoroalkyle, alcoxy, perfluoroalcoxy, hydroxy, alcanoyloxy, aroyloxy ou arylalcanoyloxy; R3 est un alkyle, aryle ou aralkyle. L'invention concerne également les sels de ces composés acceptables sur le plan pharmaceutique. Ces dérivés et leurs sels sont utiles pour augmenter les niveaux de HDL dans le sang.
Effects of 2-(substituted-sulfanyl)-3,5-dihydro-imidazole-4-one and 2-(substituted-sulfanyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dione derivatives on serum HDL-cholesterol
A series of 2-substituted sulfanyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazole-4-one and 2-substituted sulfanyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-diones was prepared and shown to increase high density lipoprotein cholesterol over other lipid fractions. Compound If showed efficacy in additional animal models. The major metabolite of If was isolated and its synthesis is reported. The effects of the metabolite on the lipid profile in rats were investigated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
