A novel strategy for the synthesis of 4-(nor-polyprenyl)-substituted benzoic acids and their esters of the general formula 1 as well as their vinylogs of the type 2, based on the use of terephthalic aldehyde (3) and its tetramethyl acetal (13), is elaborated.The carbonyl groups in dialdehydes 3 and 12 can be selectively involved in the reaction sequences leading to the introduction of both aliphatic and functional substituents in positions 1 and 4 of the benzene ring.
Bisphosphonate squalene synthetase inhibitors and method
-
, (2008/06/13)
Compounds which are inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis (by inhibiting de novo squalene biosynthesis), and thus are useful as hypocholesterolemic agents and antiatherosclerotic agents are provided which have the structure STR1 and analogs thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and are H, lower alkyl, a metal ion or a prodrug ester; R5 is H, halogen or lower alkyl; Zq is substituted alkenyl, substituted alkynyl, mixed alkenyl-alkynyl or substituted phenylalkyl or, phenylalkenyl or phenylalkynyl, or alkyl, including all stereoisomers thereof. New methods for using such compounds to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis are also provided.
