Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pyripyropene A, isolated from the culture broth of Aspergillus fumigatus FO-1289, is currently the only compound known to strongly and selectivity inhibit the acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) isozyme. To assist the development of new cholesterol-lowering or anti-atherosclerotic agents, we designed new A-ring truncated pyripyropene A analogs. We report here our successful synthesis of truncated analogs via a stereoselective intramolecular Michael cyclization method, and the construction of a 6-pyridyl-alfa-pyrone moiety.
