DESCRIPTION
UREA DERI~ATIVES AND THEIR USEAS ACAT-INHIBITORS
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to new urea derivatives and
pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which are useful
as a medicament.
BACKGROUN~ ART
Some urea derivatives have been known as acyl-coA :
cholesterol acyltransferase en7yme (hereinafter, ACAT)
inhibitors, for example, in U.S. Pztent Nos. 4,473,579 and
4,623,662, EP Patent Application Publication NGS. 0354994,
0399a22 and 0512570 and PCT International Publication Nos.
WO 91/13871, WO 93/24458 and Wo 34/26738.
DISCLOSUR~ OF INVENTION
This invention relaies to new urea derivatives and
pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which have an
inhibitory activity against ACAT and an advantage of good
absorption into blood on oral administration, to processes
for the preparation thereof, to a pharmaceutical
composition comprising the same and to a method for the
prevertion and/or treatment of hypercholesterolemia,
hvperlipidemia, atherosclerosis or diseases caused thereby.
One object of this invention is to provide new and
useful urea derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable
salts which possess an inhibitory activity against ACAT.
~nother object of this invention is to provide
processes for pre~aration of sald urea derivatives and
salts thereof.
A further object of this invenlion is to provide a
pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active
ingredient, said urea derivatives and pharmaceutically

WO96/10~S9 2 ~ 0 ~ 9 8 ~ PCTl~95/01982 ~
acceptable salt thereof.
Still further object of this invention is to provide a
therapeutic method for the prevention and/or treatment of
hypercholesterolemia, hyperllpidemia, atherosclerosis or
diseases caused thereby in human beings or animals, using
said urea derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts
thereof.
High levels of blood cholestercl and blood lipids are
conditions which are involved in the onset of
lG atherosclerosis.
It is well known that inhibition of ACAT-catalyzed
cholesterol esterification could lead to diminish
intestinal absorption of cholesterol as well as a decrease
in the intracellular accumulation of cholesterol esters ir
the intima of the arterial wall. Therefore, ACAT
inhibitors are useful for the prevention and/or treatment
of hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis of
diseases caused thereby such as cardiac insufficiency (e.g.
angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.),
cerebrovascular disturbance (e.g. cerebral infarction,
cerebrai apoplexy, etc.), arter'al aneurism, peripheral
vascular disease, xanthomas, restenosis after percutaneous
transluminal coronary angioplasty, or the like.
The object urea derivatives of this invention are new
and can be represented by the rollowing general formula

Method :
ACAT activity was measured by the melhod of Heider et
al. described in Journal of Lipid Research, ~ol. 24, page
1127 (1983). The enzyme AC~T W2S prepared from the mucosal
microsome fraction of the small intestine of ~ale, 18-week
old ~apanese white rabbits which had been fed diet
containing 2~q- cholesterol for 8 weeks. The inhibitory
activity of test compound was calculated by measuring the
amount of the labeled cholesterol ester produced from
[14C]oleoyl-CoA and endogenous cholesterol as follows ~
[14C]Oleoyl-CoA and microsome were incubated with test
compound at 37C for 5 minutes. The reaction was stopped
by the addition of chloroform-methanol (2:1, V/V).

Preparation 139
To a solution of 4-(4-fluorophenoxy)ariline (~.03 g)
and cyclohe~tanone (1.35 g) in ethanol (40 ml) we~e added
simul~aneousiy a solution of sodium cyanoborohydride (314
mg) in ethanol (30 mlj and a solution of acetic acid (60
mg) in ethanol ;lG ml) over 1 hour at room temperature.
The mixture was s~irred a. room temperature for additional
1.2 hours. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the
residue was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and
water and adjuste~ to pH 8 by addition of 5N sodium
hydroxide aqueous solution. The separated organic layer
was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and
evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column
chromatography on s~lica gel to give N-cycloheptyl-a-(4-
