Popis: A series of trans-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-[2-(2,3,4,5-substituted-1H-pyrrol-1-yl) ethyl]-2H-pyran-2-ones and their dihydroxy acids were prepared and tested for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. Inhibitory potency was found to increase substantially when substituents were introduced into positions three and four of the pyrrole ring. A systematic exploration of structure-activity relationships at these two positions led to the identification of a compound ((+)-33,(+)-(4R)-trans-2-(4-fluororphenyl)-5-(1-methylethyl)-N,3- diphenyl-1- [(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-4- carboxamide) with five times the inhibitory potency of the fungal metabolite compactin.
