Plasma levels of Lp(a) are lowered by administering an isothiazolone having the general structure ##STR1## where A is a monocyclic or bicyclic ring which may contain up to 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are substituent groups such as alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, amino, and carboxy; and R.sup.5 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, and Het.
通过给予具有一般结构##STR1##的
异噻唑啉,可以降低Lp(a)的血浆
水平,其中A是可以包含最多3个来自O,S和N的杂原子的单环或双环环;R.sup.1和R.sup.2是取代基,例如烷基,烷氧基,羟基,硝基,
氰基,
氨基和羧基;R.sup.5是烷基,环烷基,苯基和Het。
