Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of N,N-Disubstituted-4-Arylthiazole-2-Methylamine Derivatives as Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Inhibitors

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been identified as a potential target for cardiovascular disease (CVD) for its important role in the reverse cholesteryl transfer (RCT) process. In our previous work, compound 5 was discovered as a moderate CETP inhibitor. The replacement of the amide li...
