Quinuclidine Inhibitors of 2,3-Oxidosqualene Cyclase-Lanosterol Synthase: Optimization from Lipid Profiles
摘要:
Novel 3-substituted quinuclidine inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis are reported. Compounds were optimized against oxidosqualene cyclase-lanosterol synthase (OSC) inhibition in vivo, rather than by the conventional optimization of structure-activity relationship information based on in vitro OSC inhibition. Thus; examination of HPLC lipid profiles from orally dosed rats showed cholesterol biosynthetic intermediates and whether cholesterol levels were reduced. A new substituted quinuclidine pharmacophore 18a-c was rapidly found for the inhibition of OSC, and the most promising inhibitors were validated by the confirmation of potent OSC inhibition. Compound 16 gave an IC50 value of 83 +/- 11 nM for human and an IC50 value of 124 +/- 14 nM, for rat, coupled with oral and selective inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis derived from OSC inhibition (rat, ED50 = 1.3 +/- 0.7 mg/kg, n = 5; marmoset, 15 mg/kg dose, it = 3, caused complete inhibition). These 3-substituted quinuclidines, which were derived from a quinuclidine series previously known to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis at the squalene synthase step, may afford a novel series of hypocholesterolemic agents acting by the inhibition of OSC.
