Novel tetrahydrochinoline derived CETP inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Mar 1;20(5):1740-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.01.071. Epub 2010 Jan 21.

Abstract

In the course of our efforts to identify orally active cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, we have continued to explore tetrahydrochinoline derivatives. Based on BAY 19-4789 structural modifications led to the discovery of novel cycloalkyl substituted compounds. Thus, example 11b is a highly potent CETP inhibitor both in vitro and in vivo in transgenic mice with favourable pharmacokinetic properties for clinical development.
