Substituted N-fused-phenyl-N-benzyl aminoalcohol compounds useful for inhibiting cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity

摘要

The invention relates to substituted polycyclic aryl and heteroaryl tertiary-heteroalkylamine compounds useful as inhibitors of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP; plasma lipid transfer protein-I) and compounds, compositions and methods for treating atherosclerosis and other coronary artery diseases. Preferred tertiary-heteroalkylamine compounds are substituted N-fused-phenyl-N-benzyl aminoalcohols. A preferred specific N-fused-phenyl-N-benzyl aminoalcohol is the compound:
