This invention relates to novel compounds which are ACAT inhibitors rendering them useful in lowering blood cholesterol levels. The compounds contain two urea or thiourea, amide, or amine moieties or combinations of said moieties and have the following general formula:
wherein Ar is an aryl group, m and n are zero or one, W and YNH and
form the urea, thiourea, amide or amine moieties.
Inhibitors of Acyl-CoA:Cholesterol O-Acyl Transferase (ACAT) as Hypocholesterolemic Agents. 8. Incorporation of Amide or Amine Functionalities into a Series of Disubstituted Ureas and Carbamates. Effects on ACAT Inhibition in vitro and Efficacy in vivo

A series of disubstituted ureas containing amide or amine groups was prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibitacyl-CoA:cholesterolO-acyltransferase in vitro and to lower plasma total cholesterol in a variety of cholesterol-fed rat models in vivo. The presence of polar or ionizable functionalities within this class of compounds may impart greater aqueous solubility to those compounds and
