To find a novel acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor with anti-lipid peroxidative activity, a series of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. A compound with a N-(4-hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethylphenyl)carbamoyl moiety at the 3-position and an octanoyl moiety at the 2-position (7) was demonstrated to show anti-foam cell formation activity stronger than and anti-lipid peroxidative activity comparable to those of Pactimibe, while it was hardly absorbed orally. To increase its bioavailability, the acyl chain at the 2-position was shortened and various polar or basic moieties were introduced at the 7-position of 7. Among the synthesized derivatives, (S)-7-dimethylamino-N-(4-hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethylphenyl)-2-isobutyryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxamide hydrochloride (21) showed about 16-fold stronger anti-foam cell formation activity, 3-fold stronger hepatic ACAT inhibitory activity, similar anti-low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidative activity and 2-fold more potent protective activity against macrophage cell death by oxidative stress in comparison with Pactimibe. Compound 21 was efficiently absorbed after oral administration at 10 mg/kg in rats and dogs and its C(max) values were higher than its IC(50) values for in vitro activities. In conclusion, a tetrahydroisoquinoline structure is a useful scaffold for designing a phenolic anti-oxidative ACAT inhibitor, and compound 21 is expected to effectively prevent atherosclerosis.
