We describe structure-activity studies leading to the discovery of 2-arylbenzoxazole 3, the first in a series to raise serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in transgenic mice. Replacement of the 4-pipe-ridinyloxy moiety with piperazinyl provided a more synthetically tractable lead, which upon optimization resulted in compound 4, an excellent inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein function with good pharmacokinetic properties and in vivo efficacy.
