Abstract

A series of disubstituted ureas containing amide or amine groups was prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit acyl-CoA: cholesterol O-acyl transferase in vitro and to lower plasma total cholesterol in a variety of cholesterol-fed rat models in vivo. The presence of polar or ionizable functionalities within this class of compounds may impart greater aqueous solubility to those compounds and thus allow improved transport to the enzyme ...
