A series of α-asarone-based analogues was designed by conducting docking experiments with published crystal structures of human HMG-CoAreductase. Indeed, synthesis and evaluation of this series showed a highly hypocholesterolemic in vivo activity in a murine model, as predicted by previous docking studies. In agreement with this model, the polar groups attached to the benzene ring could play a key
