Abstract

Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is the enzyme largely responsible for intracellular cholesterol esterification. A systemic inhibitor of ACAT is believed to be able to slow or even reverse the atherosclerotic process. Towards that goal, a series of cyclic sulfides, derived from the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of thioaldehydes with 1, 3-dienes, and bearing carboxamide substituents, were prepared and evaluated for in vitro (in several ...
