6-(2-(2-(Substituted amino)-3-quinolinyl) ethenyl and ethyl) tetrahydro-4-hydroxypyran-2-one inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis

摘要

Novel 6-[2-[2-(substituted amino)-3-quinolinyl]-ethenyl and ethyl]tetrahydro-4-hydroxypyran-2-ones and/or oxides and the corresponding dihydroxy ring opened acids and esters are described, as well as methods for the preparation and pharmaceutical compositions of same, which are useful as inhibitors of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) and are thus useful hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic agents.
