Arylnaphthalene lignans as novel series of hypolipidemic agents raising high-density lipoprotein level.
A series of arylnaphthalene lignans were synthesized and tested for hypolipidemic activity. The most potent compound (4b) (TA-7552) not only reduced serum cholesterol, but also increased high-density lipoproteins cholesterol in rats. The effective dose of 4b is 100 times less than that of cholestyramine. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.
