Synthesis of a series of novel 2,4,5-trisubstituted selenazole compounds as potential PLTP inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Sep 1;20(17):5123-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.07.017.

Abstract

Based on a homology-modeled structure of PLTP and characteristic structural features of reported cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 2,4,5-trisubstituted selenazole compounds. Biological evaluation reveals that compounds 12 and 17 exhibit favorable PLTP activity, and their IC(50)s are 8 microM and 10 microM, respectively.
