In the course of our efforts to identify orally active cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, we have continued to explore tetrahydrochinoline derivatives. Based on BAY 19-4789 structural modifications led to the discovery of novel cycloalkyl substituted compounds. Thus, example 11b is a highly potent CETP inhibitor both in vitro and in vivo in transgenic mice with favourable pharmacokinetic properties for clinical development. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
