INHIBITORS OF ACYL-COA-CHOLESTEROL O-ACYL TRANSFERASE (ACAT) AS HYPOCHOLESTEROLEMIC AGENTS .12. SYNTHESES AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF STRUCTURALLY NOVEL TETRAZOLE AMIDES
The identification of tetrazole benzamide and nicotinamide derivatives
as new structural classes of potent ACAT inhibitors is described. The
ensuing structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that r
etroamide 8c and 7q possesses comparable in vitro potency and efficacy
to that of the fatty acid anilide, CI-976 (1).
