ATP-Citrate Lyase as a Target for Hypolipidemic Intervention. 2. Synthesis and Evaluation of (3R*,5S*)-ω-Substituted-3-carboxy-3,5-dihydroxyalkanoic Acids and Their γ-Lactone Prodrugs as Inhibitors of the Enzyme in Vitro and in Vivo
摘要:
series of (3R*,5S*)-omega-substituted-3-carboxy-3,5-dihydroxyalkanoic acids have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of the recombinant human form of ATP-citrate lyase. The best of these have K-i's in the 200-1000 nM range. As the corresponding thermodynamically favored gamma-lactone prodrugs, a number of compounds are able to inhibit cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis in HepG2 cells and reduce plasma triglyceride levels in vivo. The best of these, compound 77, is able to induce clear hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridaemic responses when administered orally to rat and dog. These results provide evidence to support the hypothesis that compounds which inhibit ATP-citrate lyase have the potential to be a novel class of hypolipidemic agent, which possess combined hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic activities.

Dihalobenzenes that possess directing groups such as OH, CH 2 OH, NH 2 , NHAc, or NHBoc were subjected to ortho-selective cross-coupling with Grignard reagents in the presence of palladium-based catalysts to give the corresponding substituted monohalobenzenes. For the dibromo- and dichlorophenols and anilines, hydroxylated terphenylphosphines 1 and 2 were found to be effective ligands for palladium

Highly ortho-selective cross-coupling of dichlorobenzene derivatives with Grignard reagents was realized using a combination of Pd-2(dba)(3) and PCy3. Use of hydroxylated terphenylphosphines further improved the reactions of dichlorophenol and dichloroaniline.
