摘要
A series of 1-(3-aryloxyaryl)benzimidazoles incorporating a sulfone substituent (6) was prepared. High affinity LXR ligands were identified (LXR beta binding IC50 values <10 nM), some with excellent agonist potency and efficacy in a functional assay of LXR activity measuring ABCA1 mRNA increases in human macrophage THP1 cells. The compounds were typically stable in liver microsome preparations and had good oral exposure in mice. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
