T. Kumazawa et al., N-(1-PHENYL-2-BENZIMIDAZOLYL)-N'-PHENYLUREA DERIVATIVES AS POTENT INHIBITORS OF ACYL-COA-CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE (ACAT), Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(16), 1995, pp. 1829-1832
A navel series of N-(1-phenyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-N'-phenylurea derivati
ves were prepared as ACAT inhibitors. These compounds showed potent AC
AT inhibitory activity in vitro (liver microsomes from cholesterol-fed
rabbits) and hypocholesterolemic activity in vivo (cholesterol-fed go
lden hamsters).
