Popis: A series of arylalkyl hydrogen succinates and glutarates was synthesized and assayed for inhibition of yeast β -hydroxy- β - methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. The following compounds were found to be particularly active as inhibitors: l-(4-biphenylyl)- pentyl hydrogen succinate (5S), l-(4-biphenylyl)-hexyl hydrogen succinate (6S), l-(4-biphenylyl)-pentyl hydrogen glutarate (5G), 1-(2-fluorenyl)-pentyl hydrogen succinate (13S), and l-(2-fluorenyl)- pentyl hydrogen glutarate (13G). Further studies with Compound 5S indicated that the inhibition was reversible and noncompetitive with respect to β -hydroxy- β -methylglutaryl coenzyme A and NADPH. Dixon and modified Hill plots were used to calculate a cooperativity number of 3 for 5S.
