- Lipid-lowering (hetero)aromatic tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine derivatives with antioxidant and squalene synthase inhibitory activity
-
A number of newly synthesized 2-[4-(hetero)aromatic]phenyl-2-hydroxy- tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine derivatives were found to inhibit lipid peroxidation (IC50 of the most potent was 20 μM) as well as rat squalene synthase (IC50 for most between 1-10 μM). Antidyslipidemic action was demonstrated in vivo: the most active compound decreased triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol of hyperlipidemic rats by 64, 67, and 82%, respectively, at 56 μmol/kg (ip). Most of the novel compounds are more active than the structurally related and reference biphenyl-morpholine, pointing to useful structural approaches for the design of antiatherosclerotic agents.
