Abstract: Novel cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors, a group of pyridylethanol(phenylethyl)amine derivatives, were synthesized. Sterol profiling assay in the human hepatoma HepG2 cells revealed that compounds target human lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51). Structure-activity relationship study of the binding with the overexpressed human CYP51 indicates that the pyridine binds within the heme binding pocket in an analogy with the azoles.
