Abstract

Niemann− Pick type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized at the cellular level by abnormal accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomal storage organelles. Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) has been recently identified as a potential therapeutic target for NPC. LAL can be specifically inhibited by a variety of 3, 4-disubstituted thiadiazole carbamates. An efficient synthesis of the C (3) oxygenated/C (4) aminated ...
