title: Synthesis and hypolipidemic activity of diesters of arylnaphthalene lignan and their heteroaromatic analogs.
abstract: A series of diesters of arylnaphthalene lignan and their heteroaromatic analogs were synthesized and evaluated for hypolipidemic activity. The disasters with modifications at C-3 showed excellent hypocholesterolemic and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol-elevating activities. Structure-activity analysis indicated that the 2-pyridylmethyl ester 5l has the optimum activity.
