QSAR analysis of analogs of bis[2-(acylamino) phenyl] disulfides, 2-(acylamino)benzenethiols and S-[2-(acylamino) phenyl] alkanethioates as antihyperlipidemic agents <b></b>
1481-1486A series of antihyperlipidemic analogs of
bis[2-(acylamino)phenyl]disulfides, 2-(acylamino) benzenethiols and
S-[2-(acylamino)phenyl] alkanethioates has been subjected to quantitative
structure activity relationship analysis. They show that the cholesteryl ester
transfer protein inhibitors as determined in the human are having significant
correlation with steric (Principle moment of inertia of X-component) and
thermodynamic (logP and bend energy) properties of the molecule. Molecular
modelling and QSAR analysis suggest that substitution at R1 with
bulkier group is more favourable for cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)
inhibitory activity while keeping R2 unsubstituted or substituted
with smaller groups results in more potent CETP inhibitors
