## Background
This invention relates to imidazoles as inhibitors of acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), pharmaceutical compositions containing them, processes for their preparation, and their use as antihypercholesterolemic and/or antiatherosclerotic agents.

Hypercholesterolemia is an established risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Therapeutic agents which control the level of serum cholesterol have proven to be effective in the treatment of coronary artery disease. While agents exist that can modulate circulating levels of cholesterol carrying lipoproteins, these agents have little or no effect on the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol can increase the level of serum cholesterol to levels which place an individual at increased risk for the development or exacerbation of atherosclerosis. Since much of the free or unesterified cholesterol that is absorbed by intestinal mucosal cells must first be esterified by ACAT prior to its incorporation and secretion into the bloodstream in large lipoprotein particles called chylomicrons, inhibition of ACAT can reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol. In addition, the accumulation and storage of cholesteryl esters in the arterial wall is associated with increased activity of ACAT. Inhibition of the enzyme is expected to inhibit the formation or progression of atherosclerotic lesions in mammals.

There are a limited number of patents in the literature disclosing compounds which are useful as ACAT inhibitors in particular and antiatherosclerotic agents in general. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,662, issued to De Vries Nov. 18, 1986, discloses ureas and thioureas as ACAT inhibitors useful for reducing the cholesterol ester content of an arterial wall, inhibiting atherosclerotic lesion development, and/or treatment of mammalian hyperlipidemia.

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The novel compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions are performed in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. It is understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on the imidazole and other portions of the molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reaction conditions proposed. Not all compounds of Formula (I) falling into a given class may be compatible with some of the reaction conditions required in some of the methods described. Such restrictions to the substituents which are compatible with the reaction conditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art and alternative methods described must then be used.

The compounds of Formula (I) wherein X is O, S or NH can be prepared by the route shown in Scheme 1. The esters of Formula (3) wherein X is O or S can be prepared by converting the requisite 4-imidazolin-2-one (1) where X is O, or 4-imidazolin-2-thione (1) where X is S, into the corresponding alkali metal salt by addition of a base such as sodium hydride, and the salt is alkylated with a compound of the formula M--(A'CO.sub.2 R, wherein R is CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5, M is a halogen or a tosylate group, and A' is a moiety having one less methylene group than A, in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide. Alternatively, the esters of Formula (3) wherein X is S may be prepared by direct alkylation of the requisite 4-imidazolin-2-thione with M--(A')CO.sub.2 R, without the addition of a suitable base, in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide at a temperature from ambient temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. The esters of Formula (3) wherein X is NH can be prepared by the reaction of the requisite 2-aminoimidazole of Formula (2) with a compound of the formula M--(A')CO.sub.2 R wherein R, M, and A' are as defined above, in a suitable solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide. Compounds of Formula (2) wherein R.sup.3 is H are preferentially alkylated at a ring nitrogen atom. Therefore, in order to prepare compounds of Formula (I) wherein X is NH and R.sup.3 is H, it is usually necessary to protect the ring nitrogen atom. The protecting group is preferably stable under basic conditions and easily removed under acidic conditions, e.g., a silyl or trityl group. The protected aminoimidazole can then be used to prepare esters of Formula (3) wherein R.sup.3 is a protecting group. The protecting group can be removed at any suitable stage in the synthetic sequence for the preparation of the compounds of Formula (I) wherein X is NH and R.sup.3 is H. ##STR18##

The esters of Formula (3) are hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids of Formula (4) by methods which are well known in the chemical literature. For example, the hydrolysis can be accomplished by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide is aqueous or organic solvents such as water, alcohols, ethers or mixtures thereof, followed by acidification with a mineral acid. The methods used to prepare compounds of Formula (4) are substantially similar to the methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,654,358, 4,460,598 and in co-assigned Application U.S. Ser. No. 244,170 filed Sep. 14, 1988, the teaching of which is incorporated by reference. Compounds of Formula (4) wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are phenyl or substituted phenyl, R.sup.3 is H, X is S, A' is (CH.sub.2).sub.n-1 and n is 8 to 21 are claimed as antihypercholesterolemic compounds in co-assigned application, U.S. Ser. No. 244,170.

The amides of Formula (5) are prepared by coupling the carboxylic acids of Formula (4) with a primary amine by amide bond forming reactions which are well known in the chemical literature. One method for amide bond formation is to use a coupling reagent which generates a reactive intermediate such as a mixed anhydride or active ester. Examples of such coupling agents are disubstituted carbodiimides, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, diphenylphosphoryl azide, and the like. For example, the coupling can be carried out with a disubstituted carbodiimide such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride, acetonitrile, toluene, or N,N-dimethylformamide. Nucleophilic hydroxy compounds such as 1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole, which form highly active esters, may be added to catalyze the reaction.

There are several alternate approaches to the preparation of the amides of Formula (5). For example, the boron trifluoride etherate catalyzed reaction of the carboxylic acids of Formula (4) with a primary amine, with azeotropic removal of water, affords the amides of Formula (5). Another approach is to convert the carboxylic acids of Formula (4) to the corresponding acid chloride using thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride or the like and then to react the acid chloride with a primary amine in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to afford the amides of Formula (5). Alternatively, the esters of Formula (3) can be directly converted to the amides of Formula (5) by ester aminolysis in the presence of strong alkali metal catalysts such as sodium amide, sodium hydride, sodium methoxide, Grignard reagents or butyllithium, or in the presence of milder catalysts such as 2-pyridone, boron tribromide, or dimethylaluminum amides.

The amines of Formula (6) can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding amides of Formula (5) by a variety of methods well known to those skilled in the art. For example, reagents such as lithium aluminum hydride, diborane, sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy) aluminum hydride (Red-Al.RTM.), and diisobutylaluminum hydride can be used to reduce an amide to an amine. Such reactions are typically conducted in an appropriate anhydrous aprotic solvent such as ether, toluene or tetrahydrofuran at a temperature from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent for a period of 2-48 hours.

Alternatively amines of Formula (6), wherein X is NH can be prepared by the route shown in Scheme 2. The primary amines (9) can be prepared by reacting 2-bromoimidazoles of Formula (8) with an appropriately elaborated diamine under neat, thermal conditions or in an appropriate solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, toluene, acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran, at or below the boiling point of the solvent. ##STR19##

The secondary amines of Formula (6) wherein X is NH can be prepared by direct alkylation of the primary amines of Formula (9) with an appropriately substituted alkyl halide. Or, the secondary amines (6) are prepared by acylation of the primary amines of Formula (9) with an acid chloride or activated carboxylic acid derivative to give the amide of Formula (10) and reduction of the amide (10) to the amines (6) by well known methods previously described.

The compounds of Formula (7) where Y is O and Z is NR.sup.4, OR.sup.4, R.sup.4 are prepared by the reaction of the secondary amines (6) with the requisite isocyanates, chloroformates, acid chlorides, activated urea or activated carboxylic acid derivatives in an appropriate solvent such as hexane, toluene, diethyl ether, diphenyl ether, methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran at a temperature at or below the boiling point of the solvent.

The guanidines of Formula (7), where in Y is NH and Z is NR.sup.4 are prepared by the reaction of the secondary amines (6) with an appropriately substituted S-methyl carbamimidothioate salt (C. R. Rasmussen, F. J. Villani, et al., Synthesis, 460, 1988), in acetonitrile or dioxane at reflux.

The amines of Formula (7), wherein Y is H.sub.2 are prepared by reaction of the corresponding ureas or amides of Formula (7) wherein Y is O, with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride or other such reagents in an appropriate anhydrous aprotic solvent such as hexane, toluene, diethylether or tetrahydrofuran at temperatures at or below the boiling point of the solvent.

As shown in Scheme 3, the thioureas of Formula (12) wherein X is S, O or NH and Z is NHR.sup.4 can be prepared in an analogous manner by the reaction of the secondary amines of Formula (6) with the requisite isothiocyanate. Alternatively, the thioureas or thioamides where Z is R.sup.4 of Formula (12) can be prepared from the ureas or amides of Formula (7) by the reaction with Lawesson's reagent or diphosphorus pentasulfide in an appropriate solvent such as toluene. ##STR20##

As shown in Scheme 4, alternatively the amides of Formula (5) can be prepared by the alkylation of (1) or (2) with compounds of the formula M--(A')CONHR.sup.6 wherein M is a halogen or rosylate group, as described for compounds of Formula (3), Scheme 1. ##STR21##

Alternatively, compounds of Formula (7), where X is O, S, or NH can be prepared by the route shown in Scheme 5. The compounds of Formula (13) can be prepared from a lactone or an hydroxyalkylcarboxylic ester and an appropriate amine, neat or in an inert solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide at ambient or elevated temperatures. The amines of Formula (14) are prepared by reduction of the corresponding amide of Formula (13) by a variety of well known methods, as illustrated above. The compounds of Formula (15) are prepared by the reaction of the secondary amine (14) with the requisite isocyanates, chloroformares, acid chlorides, activated ureas or activated carboxylic acid derivatives as described for the preparation of compounds of Formula (7), Scheme 1.

The compounds of Formula (7), wherein A is branched alkyl, can be prepared by a route analogous to that shown in Scheme 5. The requisite lactones with branching substituents can be prepared by 15 functionalization of the parent unsubstituted lactones. Alternatively, branched cyclic .alpha.,.omega.-diacid anhydrides can be reduced to the corresponding branched lactone using agents such as sodium borohydride. Synthesis of compounds of Formula (16) then proceeds exactly as described in the preceding paragraph, and alkylation of compounds of Formula (1) affords compounds of Formula (7), wherein A is branched alkyl.

The compound of Formula (16) can be prepared by conversion of the hydroxy group to a halogen moiety by a variety of well known methods. Examples of these methods are phosphorous tribromide, phosphorous oxychloride, thionyl chloride, or triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide. Or, compounds of Formula (16) where M is a tosylate or similar functionality, can be prepared from toluene sulfonyl chloride and triethylamine, in an appropriate aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran or toluene.

The compounds of Formula (7) can be prepared by converting the requisite 4-imidazolin-2-one (1) where X is 0, or 4-imidazolin-2-thione (1) where X is S into the corresponding alkali metal salt by addition of a base such as sodium hydride, and alkylating with the compounds of Formula (16) in a polar aprotic solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide at an appropriate temperature. ##STR22##

The compounds of Formula (7) wherein X is CH.sub.2 are prepared by the route shown in Scheme 6. The compounds of Formula (18) are prepared by converting the requisite imidazoles of Formula (17) where R.sup.3 is alkyl or an appropriate protecting group, into the corresponding alkali metal salt, by addition of a base such as n-butyl lithium, and alkylating with an appropriate alkyl halide in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran under an inert atmosphere and reduced temperatures. The compounds of Formula (19) are prepared from compounds of Formula (19) by reaction with an appropriately substituted amine, in an inert solvent such as toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran or N,N-dimethylformamide, at a temperature at or below the boiling point of the solvent. The imidazole compounds of Formula (20) are prepared by the reaction of the secondary amines of Formula (19) with the requisite isocyanate, chloroformate, acid chloride or other activated carboxylic acid derivative as previously described. Or, the imidazole compounds of Formula (20) can be prepared by reacting the alkali metal salt of compounds of Formula (17) with the elaborated compounds of Formula (16) in analogous conditions described above. The compounds of Formula (7) wherein X is CH.sub.2 and R.sup.3 is H, are prepared by deprotecting compounds of Formula (20), where R.sup.3 is a protecting group. For example, when R.sup.3 is a silyl protecting group, removal with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran at reflux, affords compounds of Formula (7) where X is CH.sub.2.

Likewise, compounds of Formula (7) wherein X is O, S, NH or CH.sub.2 and Y is H.sub.2 may be prepared by reacting compounds similar to compounds of Formula (18) with an appropriately functionalized secondary amine, HNCH.sub.2 ZR.sup.6, in a solvent such as toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, or N,N-dimethylformamide at a temperature at or below the boiling point of the solvent. ##STR23##

The linked phenyl compounds of Formula (24) are prepared as shown in Scheme 7. The linked bis-benzaldehyde compounds of Formula (21) are prepared by bis alkylation of an appropriately functionalized dihaloalkyl, with a substituted salisaldehyde, using an alkali base, such as sodium hydride in an inert solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide. The .alpha.-hydroxyketones of Formula (22) are prepared by standard literature benzoin forming reaction conditions, Walter S. Ide, Johannes S. Buck, Organic Reactions, vol. IV, p. 269, utilizing potassium cyanide in ethanol:water, at reflux.

The imidazoles of Formula (23) are prepared by methods well known in the literature, Klaus Hoffman, The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Imidazoles, Part I, by condensing the .alpha.-hydroxyketone compounds of Formula (22) with thiourea, or ammonium thiocyanate, or an appropriately substituted thiourea in a suitable solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol or hexanol, at a temperature at or below the boiling point of the solvent.

The compounds of Formula (24) are prepared by alkylating the alkali metal salt of imidazole (23) with the compound of Formula (16), as described previously to give the compounds of Formula (24) directly or with a compound of formula M(A')CO.sub.2 R when R is CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5, M is halogen or a tosylate group and A' is a moiety having one less methylene group than A, as described in Scheme 1. ##STR24##

The compounds of Formula (1), Scheme 8, wherein X is S are available from commercial sources or can be prepared by methods as described above. ##STR25##

Alternatively, the compounds of Formula (1) where X is S, Scheme 8, can be prepared from the corresponding 4-imidazolin-2-ones of Formula (1) where X is O, Org. Syn. Coll., Vol. II, 231, by reaction with Lawesson's reagent or diphosphorus pentasulfide in a suitable solvent such as toluene.

As shown in Scheme 9, the 2-aminoimidazoles of Formula (2) can be prepared by the reaction of the appropriately substituted .alpha.-aminoketones of Formula (27) with cyanamide (28). Compounds of Formula (2) can be used in the preparation of compounds of Formula (I) as previously described in Scheme 1. ##STR26##

As shown in Scheme 10, the compounds of Formula (I) wherein X is S(O).sub.r and r is 1 or 2 can be prepared by the oxidation of the compounds of Formula (29) by methods which are well known in the chemical literature. For example, the oxidation of (29) with one equivalent of a peracid such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in. a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride at a low temperature affords primarily the sulfoxides of Formula (30), and the oxidation of (29) with an oxidant such as potassium hydrogen persulfate, or Oxone.RTM., in a suitable solvent such as methanol affords the sulfones of Formula (31). ##STR27##

Alternatively, compounds of Formula (2) where R.sup.3 is not H, Scheme 11, can be prepared by direct alkylation of compounds of Formula (7) when R is H, in the presence or absence of a base such as potassium carbonate, pyridine, sodium hydride, triethylamine, or potassium t-butoxide in an appropriate solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, glyme, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine or methylene chloride. ##STR28##

Preparation of pharmaceutically suitable salts of Formula (I) can be carried out in accordance with well known techniques for forming salts. Physiologically acceptable salts include acid addition salts, e.g., hydrochloric, sulfuric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, succinic, citric, and benzene sulfonic acid salts.

In these examples, unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are in degrees centigrade and parts and percentages are by weight.

Part A. The method of Little, R. D. and Muller, G. W., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1981, 103, p. 2744 was used to prepare 3,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone. This lactone (12.85 g, 100.3 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (100 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere, and treated with heptylamine (17.0 mL, 115 mmol). After refluxing for 18 hours, the mixture was cooled, washed with an equal volume aq. hydrochloric acid (1N), dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. The product was purified by elution through a plug of silica gel with ethyl acetate, and the eluant was concentrated under vacuum to afford N-heptyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypentanamide (24.0 g, 98.7 mmol, 98%) as an oil. .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 6.32(br s,1H); 3.78(t,2H,J=5.7 Hz); 3.22(q,2H,J=6.7 Hz); 2.25(s,2H); 1.67(t,2H,J=5.7 Hz); 1.57-1.45(m,2H); 1.38-1.25(m, 8H); 1.02(s,6H); 0.88 (t,3H,J=7.0 Hz).

Part B. A slurry of lithium aluminum hydride (5.50 g, 145 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was cooled to 0.degree. C., and a solution of the amide prepared in Part A (11.48 g, 47.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added dropwise over 1 hour. The ice bath was removed, and the mixture was heated to reflux for 18 hours. After cooling to 0.degree. C., the mixture was quenched by the slow dropwise addition of water (6 mL), aq. NaOH (18 mL, 15%), and water (18 mL). The solution was filtered through a plug of Celite.RTM., dried over potassium carbonate, and concentrated under vacuum to afford N-heptyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypentanamine as a clear, colorless oil (7.61 g, 33.2 mmol, 70%). .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 3.70(dt,2H,J=10.2,7.0 Hz); 2.70-2.55(m,2H); 2.39-2.29(m,2H); 1.56(dt,2H,J=12-1,7.0 Hz); 1.51-1.41(m,6H); 1.36-1.24(m,8H); 0.91(s,6H); 0.88(t,3H, J=6.9 Hz).

Part C. A solution of the amine prepared in Part C (4.26 g, 18.6 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was cooled to 0.degree. C., and a solution of 2,4-difluorophenyl isocyanate (2.20 mL, 18.6 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was added dropwise with stirring over 1 hour. After slow warming to ambient temperature over 18 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residual oil was purified by flash chromatography to afford N'-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-N-(3, 3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypentyl)-N-heptylurea as a colorless oil (2.31 g, 6.01 mmol, 32%). .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 7.93(br q,1H,J=6.2 Hz); 6.89-6.78(m,3H); 3.76(t,2H,J=6.3 Hz); 3.38-3.24(m,4H); 2.36(br s,1H); 1.65-1.52(m,6H); 1.36-1.24(m,8H); 0.97(s,6H); 0.89(t,3H,J=6.6 Hz).

Part D. A solution of the alcohol prepared in Part C (2.05 g, 5.33 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) was cooled to 0.degree. C. and treated with solid carbon tetrabromide (2.14 g, 6.45 mmol). Then, a solution of triphenylphosphine (1.69 g, 6.44 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 18 hours, the mixture was concentrated under vacuum and purified by flash chromatography to afford N'-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-N-(5-bromo-3,3-dimethylpentyl)-N-heptylurea as a clear, colorless oil (1.68 g, 3.75 mmol, 70%). .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 8.10-8.02(m,1H); 6.88-6.80(m,2H); 6.37(br d,.sup.1 H,J=3.3 Hz); 3.44-3.38(m,2H); 3.36-3.24(m,4H); 1.93-1.85(m,2H); 1.70-1.55(m,4H); 1.40-1.25(m,8H); 0.98(s,6H); 0.89(t,3H,J=7.0 Hz).

Part E. A slurry of the bromide prepared in Part D (1.60 g, 3.58 mmol), 4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol (0.82 g, 3.25 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.55 g, 3.98 mmol) and tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (0.264 g, 0.71 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was heated to reflux for 18 hours, then cooled, poured into water (100 mL), and extracted with methylene chloride (100 mL). The aqueous phase was neutralized to pH 6 with HCl (6N), then reextracted with methylene chloride. The extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to afford the title compound as a solid, which was recrystallized to purity from ether-hexane, mp 138.degree.139.degree.

The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (25 mL), water, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude oil. The product was crystallized from acetonitrile to give the title compound (0.4 g, 0.00072 mol) as a white powder, mp 135.degree.-136.degree.. .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 7.45(m,4H), 7.23(m,8H), 6.94(t,1H), 6.82(d,2H), 3.3(t,2H), 3.16(t,2H), 3.03(t,2H), 1.7-1.16(m,16H), 0.87(t,3H). 4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio]pentyl]-N-heptyl-N'-phenylgu anidine

The compounds of the present invention are inhibitors of the enzyme acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase and are thus effective in inhibiting esterification and transport of cholesterol across the intestinal wall. In addition, the compounds are useful in preventing the formation of cholesterol ester rich macrophages (foam cells) in the arterial wall through the inhibition of cholesterol ester formation. Foam cells are a source of the large quantity of cholesterol ester found in atheromatous lesions as opposed to the surrounding undiseased tissue. Thus inhibition of ACAT would decrease the accumulation and storage of cholesterol esters in the arterial wall and prevent or inhibit the formation of atheromatous lesions.

A. Assay of the Inhibition of Acyl-CoA: Cholesterol Acyltransferase (ACAT) in Hepatic Microsomes

The ability of the compounds to inhibit ACAT, the enzyme responsible for the intracellular synthesis of cholesteryl esters, was tested as follows. Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 150-300 g, were fed rat chow ad libitum. The animals were fasted for twenty-four hours prior to being sacrificed by decapitation. The livers were perfused in situ with 50 ml of cold 0.25M sucrose, excised, and homogenized in three volumes of 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, that contained 0.5 mM EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), 1.0 mM glutathione, 0.25M sucrose and 20 mM leupeptin. Microsomes were obtained by differential centrifugation; the supernatant from an initial spin at 15,000.times.g for 15 minutes was centrifuged at 105,000.times.g for 1 hour to pellet the microsomes. The microsomes were suspended in homogenization buffer, reisolated by centrifugation, and stored at -70.degree. C. Microsomes were used within one month of preparation.

The control assay in a final volume of 200 .mu.l consisted of 200 .mu.g of microsomal protein, 75 .mu.M .sup.14 C-oleoyl-CoA (10,000 dpm/nmol) in 0.1M phosphate, pH 7.4, that contained 1 mM glutathione. Compounds were added in 5 .mu.l of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and additional controls were run with DMSO only. All components, except the oleoyl-CoA, were preincubated for 15 min. at 37.degree. C. prior to the initiation of the reaction by the addition of oleoyl-CoA. The assay was terminated after 10 min by the addition of 4 ml of chloroform:methanol (2:1, v/v). 20,000 dpm of 3H-cholesteryl oleate and 10 .mu.g of unlabeled cholesteryl oleate and oleic acid were added as an internal standard and carriers, respectively. After allowing 10 min. for lipid extraction, the samples were centrifuged at 1,000.times.g for 10 min. to separate the solvent layers. The chloroform layer containing the neutral lipids was spotted onto a Baker SI250-Pa silica gel TLC plate and the plate developed using a hexane: diethyl ether: acetic acid (170:30:1 v/v/v) mobile phase. The lipids were visualized by their interaction with iodine vapor and the cholesteryl ester spot was scraped into a scintillation vial and counted. The specific activity of ACAT in the control incubation averaged 260 pmol/min/mg microsomal protein. The inhibition of ACAT activity by the compounds is shown in Table 6; the data are expressed as the concentration at which ACAT activity is inhibited by 50% (IC.sub.50).

B. Assay of the Inhibition of Cholesterol

Esterification in Mammalian Cells

The esterification of cholesterol was determined in the murine macrophage-like cell line J774.A1. Cells were seeded in 35 nun wells at a density of 300,000 cells per well in 2 mls of Dulbecco's Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated at 37.degree. C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 and 93% humidity. After 24 hours the media was changed to 0.68 mls 10% FBS-DMEM containing 34 .mu.g of acetylated human low density lipoprotein (ac-LDL) to increase the intracellular concentration of cholesterol and promote esterification. At 41 hours, various inhibitors were added to the cells in DMSO (10 .mu.l/ml maximum). At 43 hours, the cells were pulsed with 0.1 mM .sup.14 C-oleic acid (10,000 dpm/nmol) complexed with BSA (bovine serum albumin) to follow cholesterol ester formation. The experiment was terminated at 45 hours by washing the monolayers 3 times with 3 ml of Tris-buffered saline at 4.degree. C. The lipids were extracted by incubating the monolayers with 1.5 ml of hexane: isopropanol (3:2, v/v) for 30 min. under gentle agitation. During this period, 10,000 dpm .sup.3 H-cholesteryl linoleate and 10 .mu.g of cholesteryl oleate were added as an internal standard and carrier respectively. The organic solvent was removed and the cells were washed with an additional 1.0 ml of hexane: isopropanol which was combined with the original extract. The cells were allowed to dry overnight, digested with 1.5 ml of 0.2N sodium hydroxide for 1 hour and an aliquot of the solubilized protein used for protein determination using the Lowry method. The organic extract was taken to dryness, the residue resuspended in 100 .mu.l of chloroform and the lipids separated on silica gel impregnated glass fiber plates using a hexane: diethylether: acetic acid (170:30:1, v/v/v) solvent system. Individual lipids were visualized with iodine and the cholesteryl ester spot cut out and transferred to scintillation vials to determine the amount of radioactivity. The conversion of oleic acid to cholesteryl ester in the control averaged 0.54 mmol/hour/mg protein and was increased upon the addition of ac-LDL to about 10.69.+-.0.69 mmol/hour/mg protein. The inhibition of esterification by the compounds is shown in Table 7; the data are expressed as the concentration at which ACAT activity is inhibited by 50% (IC.sub.50). It should be noted that many of the intermediates had inhibitory activity in the in vitro ACAT assay and in the macrophage assay. For example, N-[5(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)pentyl]-1-heptanaminehydrochloride had IC.sub.50 's of 100 nM and 6 .mu.M in the in vitro ACAT and macrophage assay, respectively.

C. Assay of Antihypercholesterolemic Activity in Cholesterol-fed Hamsters

Inhibition of ACAT activity in the gut reduces the absorption of cholesterol in cholesterol-fed animals. Hamsters weighing approximately 100 g, were maintained on a diet supplemented with 0.8% cholesterol. The treatment group received 1-100 mg/kg/day, p.o., of the test compound dissolved in 500 .mu.l of corn oil for a period of two weeks. The control group were pair-fed to the treatment group and were dosed with 500 .mu.l of the corn oil vehicle. At sacrifice, the hamsters were anesthetized with CO.sub.2 and exsanguinated via cardiac puncture. Total serum cholesterol was determined on a Du Pont aca.RTM. IV. The data were expressed in terms of mg cholesterol per 100 ml of serum (mg %).

Dosage Forms:

The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally using any pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form known in the art for such administration. The active ingredient can be supplied in solid dosage forms such as dry powders, granules, tablets or capsules, or in liquid dosage forms, such as syrups or aqueous suspensions. The active ingredient can be administered alone, but is generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier. A valuable treatise with respect to pharmaceutical dosage forms is Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 16th Edition, 1980.

In their therapeutic use as antihypercholesterolemic and/or antiatherosclerotic agents, the compounds of the invention are administered to the patient at dosage levels of 1 to 28 g per day. For a normal male adult human of approximately 70 kg of body weight, this translates into a dosage of 14 to 400 mg per kilogram body weight per day. The dosage administered will, of course, vary depending upon known factors such as the age, health, and weight of the recipient; nature and extent of symptoms, kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of treatment, and the effect desired. Useful pharmaceutical dosage forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows:

Tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit is 500 milligrams of active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose and 10 milligrams of magnesium stearate.
