title: Quinoline-3-carboxamide containing sulfones as liver X receptor (LXR) agonists with binding selectivity for LXRbeta and low blood-brain penetration.
abstract: A series of quinoline-3-carboxamide containing sulfones was prepared and found to have good binding affinity for LXRbeta and moderate binding selectivity over LXRalpha. The 8-Cl quinoline analog 33 with a high TPSA score, displayed 34-fold binding selectivity for LXRbeta over LXRalpha (LXRbeta IC(50)=16nM), good activity for inducing ABCA1 gene expression in a THP macrophage cell line, desired weak potency in the LXRalpha Gal4 functional assay, and low blood-brain barrier penetration in rat.
