NON-STEROIDAL FXR AGONISTS

摘要

ABSTRACT Potent non-steroidal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists are N-aryl-N-arylmethyl amido and ureido compounds having the chemical structure represented by the following formula (I): INSERT FORMULA wherein E1 is (C1-C8)alkyl, cyclohexyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, phenyl, or NH(C1-C8)alkyl; L1 and L2 are both H, or together form a pi-bond; X1 is C(O), or CH2; Y1 is H, NHZ1, NH(Z2)Z3, or OZ4; aryl moiety A1 is selected from the group of radicals consisting of: INSERT FORMULA A2 and G1 - G11 are as defined in the specification; and T1 and T2 are each independently O, S, NH, or N(C1-C8)alkyl. The FXR agonists are useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases linked to cholesterol, bile acids, and their metabolism and homeostasis.
