H. Elokdah et al., Effects of 2-(substituted-sulfanyl)-3,5-dihydro-imidazole-4-one and 2-(substituted-sulfanyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dione derivatives on serum HDL-cholesterol, BIOORG MED, 10(16), 2000, pp. 1791-1794
A series of 2-substituted sulfanyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazole-4-one and 2-substi
tuted sulfanyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-diones was prepared and shown to increase h
igh density lipoprotein cholesterol over other lipid fractions. Compound If
showed efficacy in additional animal models. The major metabolite of If wa
s isolated and its synthesis is reported. The effects of the metabolite on
the lipid profile in rats were investigated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
