Abstract

A novel series of substituted sulfanyldihydroimidazolones (1) that modulates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been reported to have HDL-elevating properties in several animal models. Concerns about the chemical and metabolic stability of 1 directed us to explore the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a related series of substituted thiohydantoins (2). Expansion of the scope of the thiohydantoin series led to exploration of ...
