We report on a series of potent inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) that were designed to examine the biological consequences that result from molecular changes in RG 12561. The introduction of functional groups on the cyclohexene nucleus of RG 12561 and the resulting inhibitor-enzyme interactions at remote binding sites of HMGR are discussed. Cellular membrane permeability may also contribute to potency. The HMGR inhibitory activity was measured utilizing solubilized enzyme. The compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis in vitro using liver slices and in vivo after oral administration to the rat.
