Description

CELULLAR CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION MODIFIERS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to new compounds and compositions and their application as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease. Methods of modulation of cholesterol absorption activity in a human or animal subject are also provided for the treatment diseases such as vascular disease and atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A factor leading to development of vascular disease, a leading cause of death in industrialized nations, is elevated serum cholesterol. It is estimated that 19% of Americans between the ages of 20 and 74 years of age have high serum cholesterol. The most prevalent form of vascular disease is arteriosclerosis, a condition associated with the thickening and hardening of the arterial wall. Arteriosclerosis of the large vessels is referred to as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the predominant underlying factor in vascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, arterial disease of the lower extremities and cerebrovascular disease.

Cholesteryl esters are a major component of atherosclerotic lesions and the major storage form of cholesterol in arterial wall cells. Formation of cholesteryl esters is also a step in the intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol. Thus, inhibition of cholesteryl ester formation and reduction of serum cholesterol can inhibit the progression of atherosclerotic lesion formation, decrease the accumulation of cholesteryl esters in the arterial wall, and block the intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol.

The regulation of whole-body cholesterol homeostasis in mammals and animals involves the regulation of intestinal cholesterol absorption, cellular cholesterol trafficking, dietary cholesterol and modulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, bile acid biosynthesis, steroid biosynthesis and the catabolism of the cholesterol-containing plasma lipoproteins. Regulation of intestinal cholesterol absorption has proven to be an effective means by which to regulate serum cholesterol levels. For example, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, ezetimibe has been shown to be effective in this regard. Ezetimibe is believed to prevent cholesterol absorption by inhibiting NPC I Ll . ( WO05015988 Al). Furthermore, data has been presented that transcription of two cholesterol modifying proteins, HMG COA Synthase and ABCAl (ATPase binding cassette protein Family Al) are regulated by NPCl Ll, see Davis, et al, (2004) JBC 32:, .33586-33592. In this paper, both NPCl Ll knockout animals and normal animals treated with Ezetimibe show decreased expression of HMG COA synthase and increased expression of ABCAl . It should be noted that other cholesterol modifying agents, such as statins, show a similar transcriptional profile in regards to ABCAl ; see Wong, et al., (2004) Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biol. 24:2365, suggesting that this is a common compensatory theme in effective cholesterol modifying agents. NPCl Ll is an N-glycosylated protein comprising a a trans-golgi network to plasma membrane transport signal; see Bos, et al., (1993) EMBO J. 12:2219-2228; Humphrey, et al., (1993) J. Cell. Biol. 120: 1 123-1 135; Ponnambalam, et al., (1994) J. Cell. Biol. 125:253-268 and Rothman, et al., (1996) Science 272:227-234) which exhibits limited tissue distribution and gastrointestinal abundance. Also, the human NPClLl promoter includes a Sterol Regulated Element Binding Protein 1 (SREBPl) binding consensus sequence (Athanikar, et al., (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:4935-4940; Ericsson, et al., (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:945-950; Metherall, et al., (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264:15634- 15641 ; Smith, et al., (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265:2306-2310; Bennett, et al., (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274:13025-13032 and Brown, et al., (1997) Cell 89:331-340). MPClLl has 42% amino acid sequence homology to human NPCl (Genbank Accession No. AF002020), a receptor responsible for Niemann-

Pick Cl disease (Carstea, et al., (1997) Science 277:228-231). Niemann-Pick Cl disease is a rare genetic disorder in humans which results in accumulation of low density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived unesterified cholesterol in lysosomes (Pentchev, et al., (1994) Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1225: 235-243 and Vanier, et al., (1991) Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1096:328-337). In addition, cholesterol accumulates in the trans- golgi network of npcl .sup- cells, and relocation of cholesterol, to and from the plasma membrane, is delayed. NPCl and NPClLl each possess 13 transmembrane spanning segments as well as a sterol- sensing domain (SSD). Several other proteins, including HMG-CoA Reductase (HMG-R), Patched (PTC) and Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein Cleavage-Activation Protein (SCAP), include an SSD which is involved in sensing cholesterol levels possibly by a mechanism which involves direct cholesterol binding (Gil, et al., (1985) Cell 41 :249-258; Kumagai, et al., (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270: 19107-191 13 and Hua, et al., (1996) Cell 87:415-426).

Compounds of the present invention preferably exhibit an IC₅₀ with respect to downregulation of ABCAl transcription while upregulating the expression of HMG COA synthase activity of no more than about 10 μM, more preferably, no more than about 5 μM, even more preferably not more than about 1 μM, and most preferably, not more than about 200 nM, as measured in luciferase reporter HEP ABCAl Luc assay described herein. The phrase "therapeutically effective" is intended to qualify the amount of active ingredients used in the treatment of a disease or disorder. This amount will achieve the goal of reducing or eliminating the said disease or disorder.

As used herein, reference to "treatment" of a patient is intended to include prophylaxis. The term "patient" means all mammals including humans. Examples of patients include humans, cows, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, pigs, and rabbits. Preferably, the patient is a human.

The term "prodrug" refers to a compound that is made more active in vivo. The present compounds can also exist as prodrugs, as described in Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism : Chemistiγ, Biochemistry, and Enzymology (Testa, Bernard and Mayer, Joachim M. Wiley-VHCA, Zurich, Switzerland 2003). Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are structurally modified forms of the compound that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compound. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compound by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to a compound when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the compound, or parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. A wide variety of prodrug derivatives are known in the art, such as those that rely on hydrolytic cleavage or oxidative activation of the prodrug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound which is administered as an ester (the "prodrug"), but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity. Additional examples include peptidyl derivatives of a compound. The term "therapeutically acceptable prodrug," refers to those prodrugs or zwitterions which are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use.

The term "therapeutically acceptable salt," as used herein, represents salts or zwitterionic forms of the compounds of the present invention which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible; which are suitable for treatment of diseases without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic-response; which are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio; and which are effective for their intended use. The salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the appropriate compound in the form of the free base with a suitable acid. Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, L-ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate (besylate), bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, digluconate, formate, fumarate, gentisate, glutarate, glycerophosphate, glycolate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate (isethionate), lactate, maleate, malonate, DL-mandelate, mesitylenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproρrionate, phosphonate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, pyroglutamate, succinate, sulfonate, tartrate, L-tartrate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, para-toluenesulfonate (p-tosylate), and undecanoate. Also, basic groups in the compounds of the present invention can be quaternized with methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates; decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and steryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; and benzyl and phenethyl bromides. Examples of acids which can be employed to form therapeutically acceptable addition salts include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, and phosphoric, and organic acids such as oxalic, maleic, succinic, and citric. Salts can also be formed by coordination of the compounds with an alkali metal or alkaline earth ion. Hence, the present invention contemplates sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts of the compounds of the compounds of the present invention and the like. Basic addition salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds by reacting a carboxy group with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a metal cation or with ammonia or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. The cations of therapeutically acceptable salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum, as well as nontoxic quaternary amine cations such as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, /V./V-dimethylaniline, /V-methylpiperidine, /V-methylmorpholine, dicyclohexylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, /V,/V-dibenzyIphenethylamine, 1 -ephenamine, and N,N'- dibenzylethylenediamine. Other representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperidine, and piperazine.

The compounds of the present invention can exist as therapeutically acceptable salts. The present invention includes compounds listed above in the form of salts, in particular acid addition salts. Suitable salts include those formed with both organic and inorganic acids. Such acid addition salts will normally be pharmaceutically acceptable. However, salts of non-pharmaceutical Iy acceptable salts may be of utility in the preparation and purification of the compound in question. For a more complete discussion of the preparation and selection of salts, refer to Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, ami Use (Slahl, P. Heinrich. Wiley-VCHA, Zurich, Switzerland, 2002).

While it may be possible for the compounds of the subject invention to be administered as the raw chemical, it is also possible to present them as a pharmaceutical formulation. Accordingly, the subject invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, prodrug or solvate thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers thereof and optionally one or more other therapeutic ingredients. The carrier(s) must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. Any of the well-known techniques, carriers, and excipients may be used as suitable and as understood in the art; e.g., in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be manufactured in a manner that is itself known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or compression processes. The formulations include those suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, and intramedullary), intraperitoneal, transmucosal, transdermal, rectal and topical (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular) administration although the most suitable route may depend upon for example the condition and disorder of the recipient. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing into association a compound of the subject invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, prodrug or solvate thereof ("active ingredient") with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.

Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.

Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include tablets, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. Tablets may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with binders, inert diluents, or lubricating, surface active or dispersing agents. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.

The compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in powder form or in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example, saline or sterile pyrogen-free water, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.

Formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous (oily) sterile injection solutions of the active compounds which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, pastilles, or gels formulated in conventional manner. Such compositions may comprise the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth.

The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or other glycerides.

Compounds of the present invention may be administered topically, that is by non-systemic administration. This includes the application of a compound of the present invention externally to the epidermis or the buccal cavity and the instillation of such a compound into the ear, eye and nose, such that the compound does not significantly enter the blood stream. In contrast, systemic administration refers to oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal and intramuscular administration.

Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin to the site of inflammation such as gels, liniments, lotions, creams, ointments or pastes, and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear or nose. The active ingredient may comprise, for topical administration, from 0.001 % to 10% w/w, for instance from 1 % to 2% by weight of the formulation. It may however comprise as much as 10% w/w but preferably will comprise less than 5% w/w, more preferably from 0.1 % to 1 % w/w of the formulation. For administration by inhalation the compounds according to the invention are conveniently delivered from an insufflator, nebulizer pressurized packs or other convenient means of delivering an aerosol spray. Pressurized packs may comprise a suitable propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Alternatively, for administration by inhalation or insufflation, the compounds according to the invention may take the form of a dry powder composition, for example a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. The powder composition may be presented in unit dosage form, in for example, capsules, cartridges, gelatin or blister packs from which the powder may be administered with the aid of an inhalator or insufflator. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing an effective dose, as herein below recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations of this invention may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.

The compounds of the invention may be administered orally or via injection at a dose of from 0.1 to 500 mg/kg per day. The dose range for adult humans is generally from 5 mg to 2 g/day. Tablets or other forms of presentation provided in discrete units may conveniently contain an amount of compound of the invention which is effective at such dosage or as a multiple of the same, for instance, units containing 5 mg to 500 mg, usually around 10 mg to 200 mg.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.

The compounds of the subject invention can be administered in various modes, e.g. orally, topically, or by injection. The precise amount of compound administered to a patient will be the responsibility of the attendant physician. The specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diets, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the precise disorder being treated, and the severity of the indication or condition being treated. Also, the route of administration may vary depending on the condition and its severity.

In certain instances, it may be appropriate to administer at least one of the compounds described herein (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or prodrug thereof) in combination with another therapeutic agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient upon receiving one of the compounds herein is hypertension, then it may be appropriate to administer an antihypertensive agent in combination with the initial therapeutic agent. Or, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein may be enhanced by administration of an adjuvant (i.e., by itself the adjuvant may only have minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another therapeutic agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). Or, by way of example only, the benefit of experienced by a patient may be increased by administering one of the compounds described herein with another therapeutic agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit.

The activity of the compounds in Examples 1-450 as cholesterol-absorption inhibitors and presumably, though the authors do not wish to be held to this theory, NPCl Ll inhibitors, is illustrated in the following assays. The other compounds listed above, which have not yet been made and/or tested, are predicted to have activity in these assays as well.

Biological Activity Assays

Hepatocyte (HEPG2C3A) Luciferase Reporter Assay

The compounds of the invention have an effect on ABCA-I gene expression. It is reported that compounds that effect cholesterol production and absorption such as statins and ezetimibe cause a decrease expression of ABCAl transcript. For example, in ^"NPC l Ll knockout animals (the target of Ezetimibe) and also in wild type animals treated with ezetimibe, a decrease in ABCAl transcript is seen. Therefore, a stable cell line with 2KB of the ABCA-I 5' promoter region fused to a luciferase reporter was used in a reporter assay to interrogate compounds for the ability to decrease ABCA- I expression. The promoter region was made by using PCR to obtain the fragment from human genomic DNA using the following primers; sense strand primer: ATAAGTTGGAGGTCTGGGAGTGGCTA and antisense strand primer : GCTCTGTTGGTG-CGCGGAGCT. The genomic fragment included approx 2KB of the genomic ABCAl (accession number Gl:21536375) including promoter elements important to the transcriptional regulation of this gene. To perform the luciferase assays, a human hepatocyte cell line (HEPG2C3A ATCC#CRL- 1074; ATCC, Manassas, VA ) was stably transfected with the above described fragment cloned into a luciferase containing pGL3 vector. Transient transfections were done initially to insure activity in cells when stimulated with an RXR agonist, 9-cis retinoic acid. Stable cells were made using lenti viral clone construction of the above described ABCAl clone in a Lenti vival luciferase tagged vector with puromycin selection. Following viral production in 293T cells, HEPG2 C3A cells were infected and put under puromycin selective pressure until cells began to divide and behave normally in the presence of puromycin. As these cells were to be used for an assay to find inhibitors of cholesterol absorption, the presence of ^"NPCl Ll transcript was deemed a necessity (NPCl Ll is a protein shown previously to be impotant in cholesterol absorption: see patent WO05015988A1). RTPCR was used to determine the presence of NPCl Ll transcript (NM 13389) in this cell line before and after stable transfection using the following primers: Forward primer ATAGGCGCGCCATGGCGGAGGCCGGCCTGAG and Reverse primer

TATGGCGCGCCTCAGAACTGCCGCCCATTGT). RTPCR was performed using Trizol Reagent according to manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen Corp, Carlsbad Ca) to extract total RNA from the HEPG2C3A cells. The mRNA from these total RNA preparations was amplified using Superscript II reverse transcriptase according to manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen Corp, Carlsbad Ca) with the oligo dT primer and the random hexamer primer for first strand synthesis provided in the kit. Various primer sets, including those described above were used to confirm the presence of NPCl Ll transcript. The resulting cDNA of NPCl Ll was cloned into an appropriate prokaryotic vector and sequenced to confirm identity. HepG2C3A cells were found to have ample amounts of the NPCl Ll transcript before and after stable transfection. Following confirmation of the presence of ^"NPCl Ll , stably transfected cells were expanded for luciferase reporter assays under the selection of puromycin and assayed for luciferase activity following 9-cis retinoic acid stimulation. Luciferase reporter assays were run in high throughput 1536 well format using 5 ul of cells at a concentration of 500000 cells/ml of media. Briefly, cells were plated in MEM media (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California) supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen) for 6 hr in white opaque tissue culture treated Greiner 1536 well plates (USA Scientific, Inc; Ocala, FLA) to promote attachment. Plated cells were then incubated with compound for 12 hr and stimulated with 60OnM 9-cis retinoic acid (RA) (Sigma, St Louis MO) following the 12 hr incubation with compound. Cells stimulated with 9-cis RA were incubated for 20 h and then Britelite (PerkinElmer Life And Analytical Sciences, Inc; Boston, MA) was added to determine the total amount of luciferase production as driven by the ABCAl promoter region described herein. Compounds were profiled in the same cell based assay in duplicate assays in five point dose response format to determine confirmation. To determine potential toxicity of compounds and to insure against "false positives" ATPlite was used in place of Britelite (both products of Perkin Elmer) under the same assay conditions described above. Compounds were chosen on the basis of non-toxic activity and reproducibility of results.

Quantitative Gene Expression Profiling from Cell Lysates by Branched DNA

The compounds of the invention modify HMG CoA synthase expression and ABCAl expression. Branched DNA (bDNA) is a method of accurate RNA quantification that offers RNA quantification directly from cell lysate. The branched DNA technology introduces multiple labels onto a target nucleic acid. The sensitivity stems from the use of a set of branched reporter probes. Each probe has 15 branches, and each branch can react with up to three alkaline phosphatase-labeled detection probes. This leads to a high degree of labeling of the target and kits to perform branched DNA assays can be obtained from Genospectra, Inc (Fremont, CA). Branched DNA assays were performed with select compounds using specific probes for HMG COA synthase and ABCA 1 RNA. The HEPG2C3A cells described previously along with the human intestinal cell lines: CaCo2 (ATCC # HTB-237; colorectal adenocarcinoma; ATCC: Manassas, VA) and the human intestinal cell line FHs (ATCC # CCL-241 ; normal fetal small intestine, ATCC: Manassas, VA ) were plated in clear bottom 96 well format in 1% fetal bovine serum overnight and treated with compounds the following morning. Cells were plated at a concentration of 200000 cells/ ml media. DMSO (vehicle used for compound dilution) concentration of compounds was kept at 0.8%. Compound remained on cells for 20 hr and cells were lysed following compound incubation according to kit instructions. Lysed cells release mRNA in the presence of target probes. Target mRNA from lysed cells is captured by hybridization and transferred to the Genospectra Capture Plate. Signal amplification is performed by hybridization of the bDNA Amplifier and Label Probe. Addition of chemiluminescence substrate yields a signal that is proportional to the amount of mRNA present in the sample. The target probes used in this experiment were specific to HMG CoA synthase and ABCAl (NMJJ05502, cat #PA-10181) purchased from Genospectra and used according to kit instructions. Differential expression as seen with bDNA was qualitatively confirmed with immunofluorescence. Data is represented as (+ or -) for both ABCAl and HGMG CoA synthase, although to be positive in ABCAl assay required a minimal 2X decrease in overall transcriptional activity over vehicle control (DMSO) and to be positive in HMG coA synthase required a minimal 2X increase in transcriptional activity of the target gene over DMSO control. Compounds not tested in these assays are designated by "NT". Ezetimibe was used as positive control in bDNA assays as well as antibody experiments. The EC50 of ezetimibe in these assays was calculated to be less than 10OnM with an R² value of 0.89. Several of compounds tested here show similar ECSOs. Briefly, cells were plated and treated with compound as described above and fixed with formaldehyde after compound incubation. Qualitative visualization of protein changes were made (data not shown) using antibodies to HMG CoA synthase protein (chicken polyclonal #AB 14302; Abeam Inc,

Cambridge, MA) and ABCAl protein (mouse monoclonal #AB 18180; Abeam Inc, Cambridge, MA) and observing cells microscopically after fluorescent labeling. Qualitative antibody labeling cooresponded well with quantitative bDNA results. Ezetimibe (I uM final concentration) was used as positive control in antibody experiments and showed a diminished signal with ABCAl antibody in Hep G2C3 A and CaCo2 cells and was completely absent by antibody staining in FhS cells when compared to DMSO treated cells. The ezetimibe treated cells showed a moderate increase in staining with the HMG CoA synthase antibody when compared to DMSO treated controls.
