`treating familial hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia,
`and atherosclerosis.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`Over the past several years a number.of·
`structurally related antihypercholesterolemic agents
`acting by inhibition. o·f HMG-CoA reductase have been
`reported in the patent literature and elsewhere. The
`compounds h·ave varied from the natural fermentation'
`products, compactin and ""'vinoiiC&~o

`Compactin (R 2mH)
`Mevinolin. (R2=cH3)
`
`to di- and t·etrabydro derivatives thereof: to analogs
`with different esters in the 8-position of the
`polyhydronaphthalene moiety, to totally synthetic
`analogs, wherein the polyhydronaphthalene moi~ty is
`replaced by substituted mono- and bicyclic aromatics,
`and biphenyls. But in all instances the active
`compound included a 4-hydroxytetrahydropyran-2-one
`ring or the corresponding 3,S~dihydroxy acid, or
`derivatives ther~of, formed by opening the pyranone
`ring such as:

`
`In all of these compounds the 3,5-dihydroxy acid or
`corresponding lactone moiety is present and the
`particular stereochemistry depicted is essential for
`manifestation of the optimum enzyme inhibitory
`activity.
`Now with the present invention there are
`provided compounds structurally related to those
`lactones and dihydroxy acids that do not have the
`5-hydroxy functionality, do not form a lactone ring,
`and are incapable of stereochemical variation at the
`5-position of the acid because the 5-parbon is not
`asymmetric. On the contrary, the 5-carbon carries an
`oxo function which greatly faci1itates the total
`synthesis of active compounds in that by eliminating
`one asymmetric center it is unnecessary to separate.
`di~stereoisomers or to conduct a stereoselective
`synthesis to obtain optimum enzyme inhibitory
`activity. It is believed that structures .!. are
`reduced in situ to generate the. "active" ~nhibitors
`of structure II or Ila.
`The active compounds of this invention are
`useful in either the racemic form or as the
`3(R)-isomer. Those compounds produced by total
`synthesis are obtained initially as racemates, but

`After protecting the 4-hydroxyl of the lactone with a
`dimethyl-~-butylsilyl group and preparing an alkyl
`ester by known procedu~es, the resulting 5-hydroxy of
`the open-chain acid is oxidized to the ketone.
`Suitable oxiding agents include: pyridinium
`chlorochromate in a chlorinated alkane such as
`methylene chloride or chloroform at about 0° to about
`25°C for about l to 4 hour; oxalyl chloride in
`dimethylsulfoxide at about -70° to about -40°C for
`about 0.25 to 0.5 hours: trifluoroac~tic anhydride in
`dirnethylsulfoxide at about -70°. to -40°C for about
`0.25 to 0.5 hour; and pyridinium dichromate in
`dimethyl formamide at 0° to 25°C for 1 to 8 hours.
`The silyl ether group is then hydrolyzed by
`treatment with acetic acid and tetrabutylammonium
`fluoride in tetrahydrofuran.·
`A related procedure is available for
`preparing compounds of this invention wherein E
`represents -ca 2-ca2-. It obviates the need for
`protection of the 3-hydroxy group before oxidizing
`the 5-hydroxy and is represented as follows:

`
`In the first step the dihydroxy compound is trea.ted
`with activated manganese dioxide in a chlorinated
`hydrocarbon such as chloroform, methylene chloride,
`1,2-dichloroethane or the like at about 0°C to 40°C
`preferably at ambient temperature for about 15 to 30
`hours. The 5-oxo compound produced is then treated
`with tri-n-butyltin hydride and tetrakis(triphenyl(cid:173)
`phosphine)palladium(O) in an ethereal solvent such as
`ether, TBF, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or the like, .at about
`ambient temperature for about 15 to 30 hours.
`Alternatively, if the 3-hydroxy-S-oxo-
`carboxylic acid moiety. is being synthesized, the
`5-oxo group is realized directly by a process which
`is another embodiment of this invention and which is

`
`The nitro compound is treated with a
`cl-4alkyl 3-butenoate, preferably methyl
`3-butenoate, and an aromatic isocyanate such as
`p-toluoyl isocyanate, p-chlorophenyl isocyanate,
`phenyl isocyanate or the like, preferably the .latt~r,
`and a bit of triethylamine as a catalyst in an inert
`organic solvent such as toluene, benzene, xylene, or
`the like at about 15 to 30°C, preferably about room
`temperature for about 5 to about 24 hours.
`The resulting isoxazoline is reduced
`catalytically with palladium on carbon, platinum
`oxide or the like in an inert organic solvent such as
`a c1 _3alkanol, acetic acid or the like containing a
`little water in the presence of ~oric acid at about"
`15 to 30°C and about 1-2 atmospheres of hydrogen
`pressure for about l to 6 hours.
`The ester resulting from either of the
`foregoing synthetic schemes is readily saponif ied to
`the corresponding carboxylic acid salt by treatment
`20 with aqueous alkali such as potassium,. or sodium
`hydroxide to form the potassium or sodium salt
`respectively or with a quaternary ammonium hy.droxide
`of formula HONR3R4R5R6 wherein none of the R
`groups is hydrogen to form the quaternary ammonium
`salt.
`
`25
`

`
`Acidifying any of these salts with a mineral
`acid results in the formation of the free carboxylic
`acid.
`
`The acids are readily converted back to
`salts by treatment with the appropriate base or to
`esters by treatment with a c 1_4alkanol in the
`presence of a catalytic amount of an acid such as
`hydrogen chloride at about SO to 100°C for about 3 to
`6 hours.

`The previously described salts are converted
`back to esters by treatment with an alkyl halide such
`es 2,3-dihydroxypropyl iodide in an aprotic solvent
`such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or
`hexamethylphosphoramide at about 25 to 100°C·for

`Those compounds, wherein Z is of the sub~
`type (4), i.e., in which the polyhydronaphthalerie
`moiety is substituted with hydroxy or oxo, halo :or
`alkoxy are prepared from the corresponding substrate
`in which the 5-oxo group of the heptenoic acid is
`already in place. The processes, as applied to the

`of desired administration. The compounds can be
`administered by an oral route, for example, in the
`form of tablets, capsules, granules or powders, or·
`they can be administered by a parenteral route in ~he:
`form of injectable preparations.
`A typical capsule for oral administration
`contains active ingredient (25 mg), lactose (75 mg)
`and magnesium stearate (15 mg). The mixture is
`passed through a 60 mesh sieve and packed into a No.
`1 gelatin capsule.
`A typical injectable preparation is produced
`by asceptically pl.acing 25 mg of a water solubl.e salt
`of sterile active ingredient into a vial, asceptically
`freeze-drying and sealing. For use, the contents of.
`the vial are mixed with 2 ml of physiological saline,
`to produce an injectable preparation.
`The novel method of treating
`atherosclerosis, familial hypercholes~erolemia, or
`hyperlipemia of this invention comprises
`administration of an effective
`antihypercholesterolemic amount of a compound of
`Formula I to a patient in need of such treatment.
`The dose to be administered depends on the
`unitary dose, the symptoms, and the age and the body
`weight of the patient. A dose for adults is
`preferably between 20 and 2,000 mg per day, which can
`be administered in a slngle dose or in the form of
`individual doses from 1-4 times per day.
`The compounds of this invention also have
`useful antifungal activities. For example, they may
