In particular, the invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) wherein * U is O or a lone pair, V is a) O, S, NR 1 , or CH 2 , and L is lower-alkylene or lower-alkenylene, b) -CH=CH- or -C≡C-, and is lower-alkylene or a single bond, is CO, COO, CONR 2 , CSO, CSNR 2 , SO 2 , or SO 2 NR 2 , X is hydrogen or one or more optional halogen and/or lower-alkyl substituents, m is 1 or 2, n is 0 to 7, A 1 is hydrogen, lower- alkenyl, or lower-alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxy, lower-alkoxy, or thio-lower-alkoxy, A 2 is cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-lower-alkyl, lower- alkenyl, lower-alkinyl, or lower- alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxy, lower-alkoxy or thio-lower-alkoxy, A 3 and A 4 independently from each other are hydrogen or lower-alkyl, or A 1 and A 2 or A 1 and A 3 are bonded to each other to form a ring and -A 1 -A 2 - or -A'-A 3 - are lower-alkylene or lower-alkenylene, optionally substituted by R , in which one -CH 2 - group of -A 1 -A 2 - or -A 1 -A 3 - can optionally be replaced by NR 4 , S, or O, A 5 is cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-lower-alkyl, heterocycloalkyl-lower-alkyl, aryl, aryl- lower-alkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaryl-lower-alkyl, lower-alkyl optionally substituted with hydroxy or lower-alkoxy, alkenyl optionally substituted with hydroxy, or alkadienyl optionally substituted with hydroxy, R 3 is hydroxy, lower-alkoxy, thio-lower-alkoxy, N(R 5 ,R 6 ), or lower-alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxy, R 1 , R 2 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 independently from each other are hydrogen or lower-alkyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or pharmaceutically acceptable esters thereof. The compounds of the present invention inhibit 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (EC 5.4.99.) which is required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ergosterol and other sterols. Causal risk factors that directly promote the development of coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis include elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), hypertension, cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus. Other synergistic risk factors include elevated concentrations of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins, small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), and homocysteine. Predisposing risk factors modify the causal or conditional risk factors and thus affect atherogenesis indirectly. The predisposing risk factors are obesity, physical inactivity, family history of premature CVD, and male sex. The strong connection between coronary heart disease (CHD) and high LDL-C levels in plasma, and the therapeutic advantage of lowering elevated LDL-C levels are now well established (Gotto et al, Circulation 81, 1990, 1721-1733; Stein et al, Nutr. Metab. Cardiovasc. Dis. 2, 1992, 113-156; Illingworth, Med. Clin. North. Am. 84, 2000, 23-42). Cholesterol-rich, sometimes unstable, atherosclerotic plaques lead to the occlusion of blood vessels resulting in an ischemia or an infarct. Studies with respect to primary prophylaxis have shown that a lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in plasma reduces the frequency of non-fatal incidences of CHD, while the overall morbidity remains unchanged. The lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in patients with pre-established CHD (secondary intervention) reduces CHD mortality and morbidity; meta-analysis of different studies shows that this decrease is proportional to the reduction of the LDL-C (Ross et al., Arch. Intern. Med. 159, 1999, 1793-1802). The clinical advantage of cholesterol lowering is greater for patients with pre- established CHD than for asymptomatic persons with hypercholesterolemia. According to current guidelines, cholesterol lowering treatment is recommended for patients who had survived a myocardial infarct or patients suffering from angina pectoris or another atherosclerotic disease, with a target LDL-C level of 100 mg/dl. Preparations such as bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, nicotinic acid, probucol as well as statins, i.e. HMG-Co-A reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin and atorvastatin, are used for usual standard therapies. The best statins reduce plasma LDL-C effectively by at least 40%, and also plasma triglycerides, a synergistic risk factor, but less effectively. In contrast, fibrates reduce plasma triglycerides effectively, but not LDL-C. Combination of a statin and a fϊbrate proved to be very efficacious in lowering LDL-C and triglycerides (Ellen and McPherson, J. Cardiol. 81, 1998, 60B-65B), but safety of such a combination remains an issue (Shepherd, Eur. Heart J. 16, 1995, 5-13). A single drug with a mixed profile combining effective lowering of both LDL-C and triglycerides would provide additional clinical benefit to asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. In humans, statins are well tolerated at standard dosage, but reductions in non-sterol intermediates in the cholesterol synthesis pathway, such as isoprenoids and coenzyme Q, may be associated with adverse clinical events at high doses (Davignon et al., Can. J. Cardiol. 8, 1992, 843-864; Pederson and Tobert, Drug Safety 14, 1996, 11-24). This has stimulated the search for, and development of compounds that inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, yet act distal to the synthesis of these important, non-sterol intermediates. 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (OSC), a microsomal enzyme, represents a unique target for a cholesterol-lowering drug (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390; Mark et al., J. Lipid Res. 37, 1996, 148-158). OSC is downstream of farnesyl-pyrophosphate, beyond the synthesis of isoprenoids and coenzyme Q. In hamsters, pharmacologically active doses of an OSC inhibitor showed no adverse side- effects, in contrast to a statin which reduced food-intake and body weight, and increased plasma bilirubin, liver weight and liver triglyceride content (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390). The compounds described in European Patent Application No. 636 367, which inhibit OSC and which lower the total cholesterol in plasma, belong to these substances. OSC inhibition does not trigger the overexpression of HMGR because of an indirect, negative feed-back regulatory mechanism involving the production of 24(S),25- epoxycholesterol (Peffley et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 56, 1998, 439-449; Nelson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1981, 1067-1068; Spencer et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1985, 13391-13394; Panini et al., J. Lipid Res. 27, 1986, 1190-1204; Ness et al, Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 308, 1994, 420-425). This negative feed-back regulatory mechanism is fundamental to the concept of OSC inhibition because (i) it potentiates synergistically the primary inhibitory effect with an indirect down-regulation of HMGR, and (ii) it prevents the massive accumulation of the precursor monooxidosqualene in the liver. In addition, 24(S),25- epoxycholesterol was found to be one of the most potent agonists of the nuclear receptor LXR (Janowski et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 96, 1999, 266-271). Considering that 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol is a by-product of inhibition of OSC it is hypothesized that the OSC inhibitors of the present invention could also indirectly activate LXR-dependent pathways such as (i) cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase to increase the consumption of cholesterol via the bile acid route, (ii) expression of ABC proteins with the potential to stimulate reverse cholesterol transport and increase plasma HDL-C levels (Venkateswaran et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275, 2000, 14700-14707; Costet et al., J. Biol. Chem. June 2000, in press; Ordovas, Nutr Rev 58, 2000, 76-79, Schmitz and Kaminsky, Front Biosci 6, 2001, D505-D514), and/or inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption (Mangelsdorf, Xllth International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, Stockholm, June 2000). In addition, possible cross talks between fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism mediated by liver LXR have been hypothesized (Tobin et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 14, 2000, 741-752). The present compounds of formula I inhibit OSC and therefore also inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ergosterol and other sterols, and reduce the plasma cholesterol levels. They can therefore be used in the therapy and prophylaxis of hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis and vascular diseases in general. Furthermore, they can be used in the therapy and/or prevention of mycoses, parasite infections, gallstones, cholestatic liver disorders, tumors and hyperproliferative disorders, e.g. hyperproliferative skin and vascular disorders. In addition, it has unexpectedly been found that the compounds of the present invention can also be of therapeutical use to improve glucose tolerance in order to treat and/or prevent related diseases such as diabetes.

Such medicaments comprise a compound as defined above. The compounds of formula (I) can be manufactured by the methods given below, by the methods given in the examples or by analogous methods. Appropriate reaction conditions for the individual reaction steps are known to the person skilled in the art. Starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods analogous to the methods given below or in the examples or by methods known in the art, e.g. by methods described in: Richard J. Sundberg Indoles (Best Synthetic Methods), Series Editor A.R. Katritzky, O. Meth-Cohn, C. W. Rees, Acedemic Press, San Diego 1996, or inHouben-Weyl Methoden der Organischen Chemie, R.P. Kreker, Ed., Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1994 , or The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds. A Series of Monographs, Vol. 32, Quinolines. Part 1-3, Weissenberger, E.C. Taylor, G. Jones, Eds, Wiley, London. Scheme 2 Br PG = protecting group, such as trityi for Scheme 1 If starting material 1 is a tetrahydroquinoline derivative (m=2), it maybe derived from the corresponding quinoline derivative by hydrogenation with PtO in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol. If starting material 1 is an indoline derivative (m=l), it may be derived from the corresponding indole derivative for example by treatment with NaCNBH 3 in acetic acid or trifluoro acetic acid or by employing other methods known in the art. Derivative 1 is either N-protected (e.g. (BOC) 2 O, CH 2 C1 2 ) to yield compound 2 or is directly converted to the desired A 5 W-substituted derivative 2 using one of the methods described later for compound 5. Deprotection of the V-group can be achieved, if 2 is a 5-benzyloxyindoline derivative, by hydrogenation with e.g. Pd/C in solvents like methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate, if 2 is a 5-methoxy-indoline derivative, by treatment for example with lithium- tri- sec-butylborohydride in THF. For V=S, NR 1 or V=O and n>0, deprotection using procedures known in the art (step c) yields the building block 3. Alkylation of the phenol/thiophenol 3 (V=O, S, n=0) is accomplished in acetone or DMF with K CO 3 and a suitable dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene (halogene is here represented by bromine, but can also be chlorine or iodine. It is also possible to use mesylates, tosylates or triflates instead of halogenides) at reflux to yield halogenide 4 (step c). For the preparation of derivatives 4 (V=O, n>0), the alcohol 3 can be treated with α,ω - ' dihaloalkanes or ,ω-dihaloalkenes under phase transfer conditions e.g. ,ω - dihaloalkanes/dihaloalkenes, NaOH, nBu 4 NHSO . For V=S, O or NR 1 , the derivative 3 maybe treated with oc,ω-dihaloalkane in the presence of NaH in DMF 0 °C to RT to yield bromide 4. For shorter alkanes (methyl, ethyl), the method of choice is the in situ generation of the haloalkane-triflate (from the corresponding haloalkanol with trifluoromethansulfonic anhydride/2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in CH 2 C1 2 at 0 °C). This haloalkane-triflate may then be reacted with 3 in the presence of a base such as 2,6-di-tert- butylpyridine in nitromethane at 60 °C to yield bromide 4 [analogously to a procedure of Belostotskii, Anatoly M.; Hassner, Alfred. Synthetic methods. 41. Etherification of hydroxysteroids via triflates. Tetrahedron Lett. (1994), 35(28), 5075]. Compound 4 can be converted to the amine 5 with an excess of the corresponding amine NHA 1 A 2 in a suitable solvent such as DMA, DMF, MeOH at RT or at 50-65°C or by treatment with NHA 1 A 2 , NaH in solvents such as DMF or THF (step d). Compound 5 can be N-deprotected using TFA in CH 2 C1 2 for BOC-groups or by hydrogenation in methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate with Pd/C for Z-groups. The resulting amine (not shown in scheme 1) may be treated according to one of the following procedures to yield the appropriate A^-substituted derivative 5 (separation by HPLC was necessary in some cases). a) Sulfonamides: Sulfonylation of the amines is done in dioxane or CH 2 C1 2 with Huenig's base and a sulfonyl chloride over night at RT to yield the sulfonamide 5. b) Carbamates: The amines may be reacted with A 5 OCOCl/Huenig's base or pyridine in dioxane, THF, DMF or CH 2 C1 2 . Alternatively, the chloroformates may be prepared in situ by treatment of A 5 OH with CI 3 COCI in the presence of quinoline followed by reaction with the amines in the presence of Huenig's base. c) Thiocarbamates: The amines may be reacted with A 5 OCSCl in dioxane. d) Ureas: The amines may be reacted with isocyanate in dioxane at room temperature. e) Thioureas: The amines may be reacted with isothiocyanate in dioxane at room temperature. f) Amides: The amines may be reacted with A 5 COOH/EDCI/DMAP (with anhydride formation, and subsequent addition of the starting amine at -10°C to room temperature) or alternatively with A 5 COOH/EDCI/DMAP or A 5 COOH/Huenig's base/EDCI/HOBT in DMF, dioxane or CH 2 C1 2 at room temperature. g) Sulfamides: The amines may be reacted with sulfamoyl chlorides in dioxane in the presence of an excess of triethylamine to yield sulfamide 5. The sulfamoyl chlorides can be prepared from A 5 NH 2 and chlorosulfonic acid in CH 2 C1 2 at 0°C to room temperature followed by reaction with PCI 5 in toluene at 75°C. Alternatively, the sulfamoyl chlorides can be synthesized in acetonitrile with A 5 NH 2 and sulfuryl chloride at 0°C to 65°C. Alternatively, the compound 3 may be converted to the amine 5 by attaching the pre- assembled fragment A 1 A 2 NC(A 3 A )LV-OMes/halogenide/triflates, which can be synthesised by known methods (shown e.g. in Scheme 2), using alkylating conditions (step f). Compounds 3 (V=O, n>0) can also be mesylated (V=OMes) and then reacted with A 1 A 2 NC(A 3 A 4 )L-VH (synthesis as described in Scheme 2) in e.g. DMF with NaH as base to yield 5 (with V^C S. NR 1 ). Amine 5 may be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 6 (step e). For N-oxide 6 (V=O) a mixture of hydrogen peroxide urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH 2 C1 2 at RT maybe used. For the preparation of the N-oxides 6 (V=S or NR 1 ) an alternative route has to be employed (step g): Oxidation of the pre-assembled fragment A 1 A 2 NC(A 3 A )L - OMes/halogenide to the corresponding N-oxide derivative, followed by alkylation of the compound 3 to give compound 6 directly. If WA 5 is a protective group, this may be cleaved as described for derivative 5 and the final moieties WA 5 may be introduced as described above. Scheme 2 Scheme 2 shows the synthesis of amino-VH sidechain 4 that may be used for the synthesis of compounds with the corresponding V-spacers (V= NR 1 , S, or O). ,ω- dihaloalkane, mesyl-alkanyl-halogenide, , ,ω-dihaloalkene, mesyl-alkenyl-halogenide 1 may be treated with a suitable protected amine (HNR^PG, PG=protecting group, e.g. BOC) in DMA or a thiol (HS-PG e.g., triphenylmethanethiol) in the presence of NaH in DMA to yield the compound 2 (step a). Treatment with the amine A*A 2 NH yields the S- or N-protected amine 3 (step b) or in the case of α,ω-haloalkanol or ,ω-haloalkenol 1 directly amino-alcohol 4. N- deprotection with procedures known in the art e.g. TFA in CH 2 C1 2 yields the amine side chain 4 (step c). The deprotection of the thiol moiety in 3 may be achieved with TFA/triisopropylsilane in CH 2 C1 2 at 0 °C to RT to yield the aminothiol 4 (step c). Aminoalkanol 4 can be transformed further to mesylate 5 (step d). Scheme 3 In Scheme 3, the preparation of compounds of formula 6, in which V represents -CH 2 -, -CH=CH- or -C≡C- is outlined. The starting material is derivative 1, which ma be converted to the triflate 2a in pyridine with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride at 0 °C to RT (step a). Sonogashira-coupling (step b) of the triflate 2a and a suitable alkynol or alkynechloride in piperidine with Pd(PPh 3 ) /CuI at 45 °C to 80 °C in analogy to a literature procedure yields alcohol 3a or chloride 3b [Stara, Irena G.; Stary, Ivo; KoUarovic, Adrian; Teply, Filip; Saman, David; Fiedler, Pavel. Coupling reactions of halobenzenes with alkynes. The synthesis of phenylacetylenes and symmetrical or unsymmetrical 1,2- diphen lacetylenes. Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. (1999), 64(4), 649-672.]. Alternatively, the alkynes 3a or 3b can be prepared by Sonogashira reaction of the bromo-derivatives 2b with the corresponding alkynols or alkynechlorides. Mesylation of alcohol 3a with methanesulfonylchloride e.g. in solvents such as pyridine or CH 2 C1 2 with bases like triethylamine or Huenig's base optionally in the presence of DMAP (reaction step c) and subsequent amination (reaction step d) of the resulting mesylate 4 with a suitable amine NHA r A 2 in a solvent like DMA, DMF or MeOH at RT or at 50-65° yields the amine 5. Alcohol 3a can also be treated with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid anhydride and Huenig's base at -15 °C in CH 2 C1 2 (in situ generation of the corresponding triflate) followed by treatment with the corresponding amine NHA 1 A 2 at - 15°C to RT. This is especially the method of choice for but-3-yn-l-ol-derivatives 3a. Chloride 3b can be transformed directly or via iodide (Finkelstein reaction) to the amine 5, as described above (step d). Compounds 5 in which V is -CH 2 - or -CH=CH- can be obtained by hydrogenation of compound 5 in solvents like MeOH or EtOH with Pt 2 O-H 2 O or Pd/C (yields the saturated analogue 5) or by selective hydrogenation with other known methods (e.g. Lindlar or DIBAH, REDAL) (yields the double bond analogue 5). Optionally, the hydrogenation described above can be performed at an earlier stage e.g. the alcohol 3 a or mesylate 4. Alternatively, the group A 1 A 2 NC(A 3 A C)-L-acetylene can be synthesised by known methods and attached to compound 2a or 2b (Sonogashira-coupling), to yield the compounds of the present invention 5 (reaction step f). Compounds of the formula 5 (n>0) may be synthesised by Swern oxidation of the alcohol 1 (V=O and n>0) to yield the corresponding aldehyde 7 (step g) as an intermediate. The aldehyde 7 may be treated with triphenylphosphine, tetra-bromo- methane and triethylamine in CH 2 C1 2 at 0°C to RT to yield 2,2-Dibromo-vinyl derivative 8 (step h). Rearrangement with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at -78°C, followed by reaction with formaldehyde (-78°C to RT) leads to the propargyl alcohol 9a (step i, side chain extension through application of the Corey-Fuchs method), following conditions described in: Marshall, James A.; Bartley, Gary S.; Wallace, Eli M. Total Synthesis of the Pseudopterane (-)-Kallolide B, the Enantiomer of Natural (+)-Kallolide B. J. Org. Chem. (1996), 61(17), 5729-5735; and Baker, Raymond; Boyes, Alastair L.; Swain, Christopher J. Synthesis of talaromycins A, B, C, and E. J. Chem. Soc, Perkin Trans. 1 (1990), (5), 1415- 21. For longer side chains, the rearrangement is performed with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at -78°C as above, followed by addition of a co-solvens such as DMPU and reaction with O-protected 1-bromo-alcohols (e.g. 1-bromo-n-tetrahydro- pyaran loxyalkane) to yield the O-protected compounds 9b (step i). O-protected compounds 9b can be deprotected to the corresponding alkynol 9a (in MeOH at 50-60°C, in the presence of catalytic amount of pyridinium toluene-4-sulfonate). Alcohol 9a can be reacted with Huenig's base/trifluoromethane sulfonic acid anhydride at -15°C in CH 2 C1 2 (in situ generation of the corresponding triflate) followed by treatment with Huenig's base and the corresponding amine NHA 1 A 2 at - 15°C to RT to yield amine 5. Alternatively, mesylation of alcohol 9a with methanesulfonylchloride, pyridine and DMAP in CH 2 C1 2 at 0 °C to RT yields mesylate 10. Conversion of the mesylate 10 to the amine 5 can be accomplished with an excess of the corresponding amine NHA 1 A 2 in DMA at RT or as described above (step 1). Compounds 5 in which V is -CH 2 - or -CH=CH- can be obtained by hydrogenation of compound 5 itself or the intermediates 9a, 9b or 10. The hydrogenation maybe performed in EtOH or MeOH with Pt 2 O-H 2 O or Pd/C (yields the saturated analogues 5, 9a, 9b, or 10) or by selective hydrogenation to obtain the double bond by other known methods (e.g. Lindlar or DIB AH, REDAL) and transforming the intermediates afterwards to 5. Alternatively, for the introduction of the group A X A 2 N(A 3 A C)L in which A 3 and/or A 4 are not H, the following steps have to be performed starting from compound 8 (step m or steps i and 1): for L= lower alkanes, the building block A 1 A 2 N(A 3 A 4 C)L- halogenide/mesylate is synthesised by known methods (or in analogy to the methods described in Scheme 2) and introduced (step m) under the same condition as described above for step i. For L = single bond, the introduction of the group A X A 2 N(A 3 A C) with A 3 and/or A not H, a two step procedure has to be followed: first the rearrangement of 8 with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at -78 °C, followed by reaction with the corresponding aldehyde (A 3 or A 4 -COH) or ketone (A 3 COA 4 , at -78 °C to RT) leads to the A 3 A 4 substituted propargyl alcohol 9a (step i) which is e.g. mesylated or transformed to a phosphorester or a chloride (not shown) and reacted with the desired A 1 A 2 -substituted- amine in the presence of Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (for the phosphorester) or Cu(I)Cl/Cu bronze and Huenig's base (for the chloride) to yield the desired A 3 ,A 4 - substituted compound 5 (step 1). (see: Bartlett, Paul A.; McQuaid, Loretta A.. Total synthesis of (±)-methyl shikimate and (±)-3-phosphoshikimic acid. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1984), 106(25), 7854-60 and Cooper, Matthew A.; Lucas, Mathew A.; Taylor, Joanne M.; Ward, A; David; Williamson, Natalie M. A convenient method for the aromatic amino- Claisen rearrangement of N-(l,l-disubstituted-allyl)anilines. Synthesis (2001), (4), 621- 625.) Amine 5 may be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 6 using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH 2 C1 2 at RT (step e). If WA 5 is a protecting group, this may be cleaved and the final moieties WA 5 may be introduced as described for derivative 5 in scheme 1. The following tests were carried out in order to determine the activity of the compounds of formula I and their salts. Inhibition of human liver microsomal 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (OSC) Liver microsomes from a healthy volunteer were prepared in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The OSC activity was measured in the same buffer, which also contained ImM EDTA and ImM dithiothreitol. The microsomes were diluted to 0.8mg/ml protein in cold phosphate buffer. Dry [ 14 C]R,S-monooxidosquaIene (MOS, 12.8 mCi/mmol) was diluted to 20 nCi/μl with ethanol and mixed with phosphate buffer- 1% BSA (bovine serum albumin). A stock solution of 1 mM test substance in DMSO was diluted to the desired concentration with phosphate buffer- 1% BSA. 40 μl of microsomes were mixed with 20 μl of the solution of the test substance and the reaction was subsequently started with 20 μl of the [ 14 C]R,S-MOS solution. The final conditions were: 0.4mg/ml of microsomal proteins and 30 μl of [ 14 C]R,S-MOS in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 0.5% albumin, DMSO <0.1% and ethanol <2%, in a total volume of 80 μl. After 1 hour at 37°C the reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.6 ml of 10% KOH-methanol, 0.7ml of water and 0.1ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) which contained 25 μg of non-radioactive MOS and 25 μg of lanosterol as carriers. After shaking, 1 ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) was added to each test tube, these were again shaken and then centrifuged. The upper phase was transferred into a glass test tube, the lower phase was again extracted with hexane:ether and combined with the first extract. The entire extract was evaporated to dryness with nitrogen, the residue was suspended in 50 μl of hexane:ether and applied to a silica gel plate. Chromatographic separation was effected in hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) as the eluent. The Rf values for the MOS substrate and the lanosterol product were 0.91 and, respectively, 0.54. After drying, radioactive MOS and lanosterol were observed on the silica gel plate. The ratio of MOS to lanosterol was determined from the radioactive bands in order to determine the yield of the reaction and OSC inhibition. The test was carried out on the one hand with a constant test substance concentration of lOOnM and the percentage OSC inhibition against controls was calculated. The more preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit inhibitions larger than 50%. In addition, the test was carried out with different test substance concentrations and subsequently the IC 50 value was calculated, i.e. the concentration required to reduce the conversion of MOS into lanosterol to 50% of the control value. The preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit IC 50 values of 1 nM to 10 μM, preferrably of 1 - 100 nM. The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for enteral, parenteral or topical administration. They can be administered, for example, perorally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions or infusion solutions, or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils. The production of the pharmaceutical preparations can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art by bringing the described compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants. Suitable carrier materials are not only inorganic carrier materials, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for example, lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used as carrier materials for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carrier materials for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, required in the case of soft gelatine capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar and the like. Suitable carrier materials for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol and vegetable oils. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. Suitable carrier materials for topical preparations are glycerides, semi- synthetic and synthetic glycerides, hydrogenated oils, liquid waxes, liquid paraffins, liquid fatty alcohols, sterols, polyethylene glycols and cellulose derivatives. Usual stabilizers, preservatives, wetting and emulsifying agents, consistency- improving agents, flavour-improving agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, solubilizers, colorants and masking agents and antioxidants come into consideration as pharmaceutical adjuvants. The dosage of the compounds of formula I can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. For adult patients a daily dosage of about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, especially about 50 mg to about 500 mg, comes into consideration for the prevention and control of topical and systemic infections by pathogenic fungi. For cholesterol lowering and treatment of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes the daily dosage conveniently amounts to between 1 and lOOOmg, preferably 5 to 200mg, for adult patients. Depending on the dosage it is convenient to administer the daily dosage in several dosage units.
