    Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of N,N-Disubstituted-4-Arylthiazole-2-Methylamine Derivatives as Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Inhibitors

    by Xinran Wang, Xuehua Lin, Xuanqi Xu, Wei Li, Lijuan Hao, Chunchi Liu, Dongmei Zhao, Maosheng Cheng

    Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been identified as a potential target for cardiovascular disease (CVD) for its important role in the reverse cholesteryl transfer (RCT) process. In our previous work, compound 5 was discovered as a moderate CETP inhibitor. The replacement of the amide linker by heterocyclic aromatics and then a series of N,N-substituted-4-arylthiazole-2-methylamine derivatives were designed by utilizing a conformational restriction strategy. Thirty-six compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their CETP inhibitory activities. Structure-activity relationship studies indicate that electron donor groups substituted ring A, and electron-withdrawing groups at the 4-position of ring B were critical for potency. Among these compounds, compound 30 exhibited excellent CETP inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.79 ± 0.02 μM) in vitro and showed an acceptable metabolic stability.
