Based on the metabolism of the potent cholesterol absorption inhibitor
(-) SCH48461 and structure activity relationship information, we desi
gned and evaluated (-)SCH 53079. This compound was found to be equipot
ent to (-)SCH 48461 in both the cholesterol-fed hamster and rhesus mon
key assays. Importantly, (-)SCH 53079 was metabolically more stable th
an (-)SCH 48461 and as desired had very low plasma levels and did not
cause hepatic enzyme induction. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Lt
