The compounds according to the invention are inhibitors of acyl coenzyme-A:cholesterol-O-acyl transferase (ACATjEC 2.3.1.26). They are therefore of value as anti-atherosclerotic agents and have utility in the treatment of atherosclerosis, hyperlipidaemia, cholesterol ester storage disease and atheroma in vein grafts.
Compounds within the scope of the present invention exhibit positive pharmacological activities as demonstrated by the following in vitro andin-vivo tests which are believed to correlate to pharmacological activity in humans and other animals.
In assays performed in vitro microsomes (prepared from the livers of rats fed a diet supplemented with 0.5%w/w cholesterol and 0.25%w/w cholic acid for 7 days) were incubated with radiolabelled oleoyl-CoA in the presence of compounds according to the invention at a concentration of 0.5~g/ml or l~g/ml. The degree of ACAT inhibition produced was up to 99%.
