Résumé

Hyperlipidemia, a cardiovascular disease risk factor, is characterized by a rise in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides and total cholesterol, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) enables the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and very low-density lipoprotein. CETP inhibition is a promising approach to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. By inhibiting lipid transport activity, it increases HDL levels and decreases LDL levels. Herein, diaryl sulfonamides 6a-6g and 7a-7g were prepared, and the structure of these compounds was fully determined using different spectroscopic techniques. These compounds underwent biological evaluation in vitro and showed different inhibitory activities against CETP; 100% inhibitory activity was observed for compounds 7a-7g, while activities of compounds 6a-6g ranged up to 42.6% at 10 µM concentration. Pharmacophore mapping agreed with the bioassay results where the four aromatic ring compounds 7a-7g possessed higher fit values against Hypo4/8 and the shape-complemented Hypo4/8 in comparison to compounds 6a-6g. Docking of the synthesized compounds using libdock and ligandfit engines revealed that compounds 7a-7g formed п-п stacking and hydrophobic interactions with the binding pocket, while compounds 6a-6g missed these hydrophobic interactions with amino acids Leu206, Phe265, and Phe263.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Hyperlipidemia, a cardiovascular disease risk factor, is characterized by a rise in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides and total cholesterol, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) enables the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and very low-density lipoprotein.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
CETP inhibition is a promising approach to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. By inhibiting lipid transport activity, it increases HDL levels and decreases LDL levels.
METHOD METHODS
Herein, diaryl sulfonamides 6a-6g and 7a-7g were prepared, and the structure of these compounds was fully determined using different spectroscopic techniques.
RESULTS RESULTS
These compounds underwent biological evaluation in vitro and showed different inhibitory activities against CETP; 100% inhibitory activity was observed for compounds 7a-7g, while activities of compounds 6a-6g ranged up to 42.6% at 10 µM concentration. Pharmacophore mapping agreed with the bioassay results where the four aromatic ring compounds 7a-7g possessed higher fit values against Hypo4/8 and the shape-complemented Hypo4/8 in comparison to compounds 6a-6g.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Docking of the synthesized compounds using libdock and ligandfit engines revealed that compounds 7a-7g formed п-п stacking and hydrophobic interactions with the binding pocket, while compounds 6a-6g missed these hydrophobic interactions with amino acids Leu206, Phe265, and Phe263.
