Potent inhibition of rat microsomal oxidosqualene cyclase-lanosterol synthase (OSC) was maintained after structural modification of the 4-piperidinopyridine OSC inhibitor series. These novel analogues with a much lower pK(a) range (5.8-6.7) gave potent oral inhibition of rat cholesterol biosynthesis (8 ED80 0.7 mg/kg), and diminished effects on rat feeding after a 100 mg/kg oral dose.
