Mb. Tollefson et al., A novel class of apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transporter inhibitors: The 2,3-disubstituted-4-phenylquinolines, BIOORG MED, 10(3), 2000, pp. 277-279
A series of 2,3-disubstituted-4-phenylquinolines were prepared and were fou
nd to inhibit the apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT).
Alkyl and ester substitution at the 3-position showed comparable activities
while substitution at the 2-position was much more sensitive to the nature
of the substituent. The synthesis and in vitro potency data are presented
for this novel class of compounds. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right
