Sulfonamide derivatives of benzylamine block cholesterol biosynthesis in HepG2 cells: a new type of potent squalene epoxidase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Jun 2;8(11):1337-42. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00213-3.

Abstract

Sulfonamide derivatives of ene-yne benzylamine 1 have been prepared and identified as a new class of potent SE inhibitors having demonstrated activity in HepG2 cells as cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors.
