Background:Squalene Synthase is one of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway enzymes, inhibition of which produces potent lipid lowering action. A variety of chemical classes have been evaluated for its inhibition to provide alternate antihyperlipidemic agents to statins.Methods:A series of N-substituted-sulfomoyl-phenyl-amino carboxylic acid derivatives were designed through pharmacophore modelling as Squalene Synthase inhibitors. We report here the synthesis, characterization and in vitro pharmacological screening of the designed molecules as Squalene synthase inhibitors. The target molecules were synthesized by a simple procedure and each molecule was characterized by IR, Mass, 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectroscopic techniques. As a primary site of action for cholesterol biosynthesis is liver, each of the molecules were first screened for in vitro cytotoxicity over human hepatic cell line (HepG2) by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method. The enzyme inhibition assay was performed on cell lysates prepared from HepG2 cells by Human Squalene Synthase ELISA kit, where test compounds were added in the nontoxic concentrations only.Results:Compound 5f was found to be most potent with the IC50 value of 11.91 µM. The CTC50 value for 5f on human hepatic cell line was > 1000 µM so it was considered that the compound was relatively safe and might be free of hepatotoxicity.Conclusion:From the results of our studies, it was observed that compounds with poly nuclear aromatic or hetero aromatic substituent on a side chain were more potent enzyme inhibitors and a distance of 4-5 atoms is optimum between amide nitrogen and hydroxyl group of carboxylic acid.

A new bithiophene, 5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-butyny)-2,2′-bithiophene (1), and sixteen known thiophenes: 2-(3,4-dihydroxybut-1-ynyl)-5-(penta-1,3-diynyl)thiophene (2), α-terthienyl (3), 5-(3,4-dihydroxybut-1-ynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (4), 5-acetyl-2,2′-bithiophene (5), 5-formyl-2,2′-bithiophene (6), methyl 2,2′-bithiophene-5-carboxylate (7), 5-(but-3-en-1-ynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (8), 5-(4-isovaleroyloxybut-1-ynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (9), cardopatine (10), isocardopatine (11), 5-(3-hydroxy-4-isovaleroyloxybut-1-ynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (12), 5-(3-hydroxymethyl-3-isovaleroyloxyprop-1-ynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (13), 5-(4-hydroxy-1-butynyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (14), 5-(4-acetoxy-1-butynl)-2,2′-bithiophene (15), 2,2′-bithiophene-5-carboxylic acid (16) and 2-(4-hydroxybut-1-ynyl)-5-(penta-1,3-diynyl)thiophene (17) were isolated from the roots of Echinops grijisii Hance. Among them, compounds 6, 7 and 16 were isolated from a natural source for the first time. Compounds 2, 4 and 14 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity against nitrite of LPS-stimulated production in the RAW 264.7 cell line.
