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.

the synthesis of condensed hetero- or carbocycles such as pyrroloindoles or fluorenes has been developed that involves the Pd-catalyzed cyclization of readily available N-(2-halobenzyl)pyrroles or their phenyl derivatives. The reaction is proposed to proceed via oxidative addition of benzylic halides to Pd(0) followed by base-assisted C-H bond activation. A broad range of condensed cyclic products could

A simple method for synthesizing substituted 4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1]benzazepines using acid-assisted cyclization of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts of 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes with methyl acrylate or methyl vinyl ketone as a key step has been developed.
