Replacing a tetrafluoroethoxy group with 2-furyl heteroaryl moieties yields submicromolar CETP inhibitors in a new trifluoro-propanol series (Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2001)
Original title: Novel heteroaryl replacements of aromatic 3-tetrafluoroethoxy substituents in trifluoro-3-(tertiaryamino)-2-propanols as potent inhibitors of cholesteryl ester transfer protein
The authors prepared a series of novel N,N-disubstituted trifluoro-3-amino-2-propanols as potent inhibitors of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). Modifying the aromatic 3-tetrafluoroethoxy group in the lead molecule 1a with various heteroaryl moieties produced new 2-furyl analogues, compounds 2a and 2b, which showed submicromolar potency in vitro.
