Compounds of the present invention of the formula
1
are thyromimetic agents which can be used to prevent and/or treat diseases associated with an imbalance of thyroid hormones, such as hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, obesity, osteoporosis and depression. The compounds of the invention are, in particular, hypolipedemic agents which enhance the clearance of cholesterol from circulation, particularly the clearance of cholesterol in the form of low density lipoproteins (LDL). The compounds are useful for reducing total cholesterol plasma levels in mammals, in particular for reducing levels of LDL-cholesterol. Furthermore, such compounds also lower elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels, an independent cardiovascular risk factor, in mammals. The compounds of the invention can therefore be used for the prevention and/or treatment of occlusive cardiovascular conditions in which hyperlipidemia and hyperlipoproteinemia are implicated, such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in mammals.
本发明的化合物具有以下公式的甲型甲状腺模拟剂,可用于预防和/或治疗与甲状腺激素失衡相关的疾病,如甲状腺功能减退和亢进、肥胖、骨质疏松症和抑郁症。本发明的化合物特别是降脂剂,可增强胆固醇从循环中的清除,特别是以低密度脂蛋白(LDL)形式的胆固醇的清除。这些化合物可用于减少哺乳动物的总胆固醇血浆水平,特别是减少LDL胆固醇水平。此外,这些化合物还可以降低哺乳动物体内独立的心血管风险因子脂蛋白(a)[Lp(a)]水平。因此,本发明的化合物可用于预防和/或治疗与高脂血症和高脂蛋白血症有关的闭塞性心血管疾病,如动脉粥样硬化和冠心病等。
