ATP-citrate lyase is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. Inhibitors of the enzyme represent a potentially novel class of hypolipidemic agent, which are anticipated to have combined hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic properties. A series of 2-substituted butanedioic acids have been designed and synthesized as inhibitors of the enzyme. The best compounds, 58, 68, 71, 74 have reversible K(i)'s in the 1-3 μM range against the isolated rat enzyme. As representative of this compound class, 58, has been shown to exert its inhibitory action through a mainly competitive mechanism with respect to citrate and a noncompetitive one with respect to CoA. None of the inhibitors were able to inhibit cholesterol and/or fatty acid synthesis in HepG2 cells. This has been attributed to the adverse physicochemical properties of the molecules leading to a lack of cell penetration. Despite this, a lead structural class of compound has been identified with the potential for modification into potent, cell-penetrant, and efficacious inhibitors of ATP- citrate lyase.
