potent, bioavailable ACAT inhibitor may have beneficial effects in the treatment of atherosclerosis by (i) reducing the absorption of dietary cholesterol, (ii) reducing the secretion of very low density lipoproteins into plasma from the liver, and (iii) preventing the transformation of arterial macrophages into foam cells. We have found that a mevalonate derivative 2, which contains a 4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl
生物有效的有效ACAT抑制剂可通过(i)减少饮食中胆固醇的吸收,(ii)减少极低密度脂蛋白从肝脏向血浆的分泌以及(iii)防止转化而对动脉粥样硬化产生有益作用巨噬细胞进入泡沫细胞。我们已经发现,含有4,5-二苯基-1H-咪唑-2-基部分的甲羟戊酸酯衍生物2在体外抑制大鼠肝微粒体ACAT,并在胆固醇喂养的大鼠中产生明显的降胆固醇作用。2的类似物的结构活性关系表明,4,5-二苯基-1H-咪唑部分是抑制大鼠微粒体ACAT的药效基团。
