Remedy for hyperlipidemia

This application is a 371 of PCT/JP95/01486, filed Jul. 26, 1995.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a remedy for hyperlipidemia, and more particularly to a remedy for hyperlipidemia, which reduces both cholesterol and triglycerides.
BACKGROUND ART
Hyperlipidemia is a morbid state in which lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) in plasma increase, and the object of treatment for the hyperlipidemia is to prevent arteriosclerotic diseases such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, occlusion of peripheral artery and arteriosclerosis.
In the past, clofibrate type medicines and HMG-CoA reducdase inhibitors have been clinically used for the prevention of and treatment for the hyperlipidemia. However, they cannot be always said to be satisfactory from the viewpoint of the prevention of and treatment for the arteriosclerotic diseases.

While chilling with ice water, 193 mg of sodium borohydride were added to the solution. After the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at the same temperature, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. After the residue was added with ethyl acetate, washed with water and dried, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and isopropyl ether to obtain 4.37 g of a colorless crystal. Yield: 99%.

Test Example
Effect on Reduction of Serum Lipids
The sodium salt of each of compounds to be tested was suspended in a 0.5% methyl cellulose solution, and the suspension was orally administered to a group consisting of 5 male F344 rats (Charles River Co.) aged 6 weeks repeatedly for 2 weeks once a day. During this period, feed CRF-1 (Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.) and drinking water (filtered and sterilized tap water) were freely ingested.
At 2 hours after the final administration, amounts of triglycerides and total cholesterol in a serum obtained from blood collected from an aorta abdominalis of each rat were determined by means of an automatic serum analyzer (IMPACT400E, GILFORD).
Incidentally, the blood collection was conducted at 2 hours after the final administration, and centrifugation after the blood samples was performed within 90 minutes after the blood collection. The determination was conducted after the serum was refrigerated and conserved.
On the basis of the results of this experiment, percent reduction of the total cholesterol value in the serum and percent reduction of the triglyceride value in the serum were determined in accordance with the following first and second equations, respectively. The results are as shown in Table 7. ##EQU1##

Toxicity Test
ICR mice (Charles River Co.) aged 4-5 weeks were used at a proportion of 10 mice per group. Each of the compounds prepared in Preparation Examples 1, 24, 25, 30, 33, 34 and 40 was suspended in 10% gum arabic. There after, the suspension was orally administered to a group of the mice in a dose of 300 mg/kg to observe the mice over 7 days. As a result, no lethal case was observed as to the compounds tested under the above-described conditions.
