Abstract

Due to the importance of pancreatic cholesterol esterase (CEase) as a potential target in atherosclerosis and for the development of hypocholesterolemic agents, there are increasing interests in designing and synthesizing CEase inhibitors. In the present study, we prepared forty-five isocoumarin phosphorus analogues (ie, phosphaisocoumarins) and investigated the inhibition of these compounds on the CEase. The results showed that ...
