A series of quinoline-based 3,5-dihydroxyheptenoic acid derivatives were synthesized from quinolinecarboxylic acid esters by homologation, aldol condensation with ethyl acetoacetate dianion, and reduction of 3-hydroxyketone to evaluate their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. In agreement with previous literature, a strict structural requirement exists on the external ring, and 4-fluorophenyl is the most active in this system. For the central ring, substitution on positions 6, 7, and 8 of the central quinoline nucleus moderately affected the potency, whereas the alkyl side chain on the 2-position had a more pronounced influence on activity. Among the derivatives, NK-104 (pitavastatin calcium), which has a cyclopropyl group as the alkyl side chain, showed the greatest potency. We found that further modulation and improvement in potency at inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase was obtained by having the optimal substituents flanking the desmethylmevalonic acid portion, that is, 4-fluorophenyl and cyclopropyl, instead of the usual isopropyl group.

A new method for the preparation of 2,3,4-substituted quinolines has been developed and its application towards the synthesis of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-isopropyl-3-quinolinecarbaldehyde, as well as other quinolines, is described.
