- Formal Synthesis of Ezetimibe Using a Proline-mediated, Asymmetric, Three-component Mannich Reaction
-
The formal total synthesis of ezetimibe was accomplished using a proline-mediated, asymmetric, three-component Mannich reaction as the key step. The two stereogenic centers on the β-lactam skeleton of ezetimibe were controlled by the syn-selective asymmetric Mannich reaction, followed by isomerization.

- Synthesis and Evaluation of 2-Azetidinone and 1H-Pyrrole-2,5-dione Derivatives as Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitors for Reducing Inflammation Response and Oxidative Stress
-
Excess lipid accumulation can initiate the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions, thus eventually leading to cardiovascular disease. Lipid-lowering medication therapy is one of the cornerstones of cardiovascular disease therapy. On the basis of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe, we successfully synthesized seven 2-azetidinone derivatives and eighteen 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione derivatives. Most of the new compounds significantly inhibited cholesterol uptake in vitro. In addition, one of the most active inhibitors, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-[(3S)-3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (14q), showed no cytotoxicity in L02 and HEK293T cell lines. Further evaluation indicated that 14q inhibited considerably the amount of TNF-α, ROS, MDA, and LDH in vitro. Therefore, 14q might be a novel cholesterol absorption inhibitor.
