The hypolipidemic properties of ethyl 6-chlorochroman-2-carboxylate (II), ethyl 6-phenylchroman-2-carboxylate (III) and ethyl 6-cyclohexylchroman-2-carboxylate (IV) were compared to clofibrate (I) in fasted normolipidemic rats. The chroman analog II, like its parent compound, clofibrate, reduced serum and alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Although analog III had no effect on serum cholesterol, it caused a slight elevation of alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol concentration. Serum free cholesterol was increased and LCAT activity was reduced in clofibrate-treated rats. The hypolipidemic agents had no consistent effect on liver lipid concentrations and liver microsomal HMG-CoA reductase activity. In addition, we have shown that drug efficacies varied directly with seasonal variations in serum lipid concentrations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007862 Phosphatidylcholine-Sterol O-Acyltransferase An enzyme secreted from the liver into the plasma of many mammalian species. It catalyzes the esterification of the hydroxyl group of lipoprotein cholesterol by the transfer of a fatty acid from the C-2 position of lecithin. In familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency disease, the absence of the enzyme results in an excess of unesterified cholesterol in plasma.

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
