Filing Date: | Jan 11, 1996 |
Application Number: | 08/548,811 |
Claims: | 1. A compound having the structure ##STR265## including the piperidine N-oxide thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein Z is a bond or S; X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are independently selected from H or halo; x is an integer from 2 to 6, (CH.sub.2).sub.x is optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents which are the same or different and are alkyl or halo; R.sup.5 is heteroaryl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl or cycloalkyl, each R.sup.5 group being optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents which may be the same or different, wherein one substituents is optionally attached to a ring carbon in the position adjacent to the carbon linked to ##STR266## 2. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein Z is a bond. 3. The compound as defined in claim 1 which is a piperidine N-oxide. 4. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein each of X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 is H. 5. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein (CH.sub.2).sub.x is substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents which are the same or different and are alkyl or halo. 6. The compound as defined in claim 5 wherein the halo substituent is F. 7. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein the substituent on R.sup.5 is adjacent to the carbon attached to the ##STR267## group. 8. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sup.5 is substituted with 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents which may be the same or different and are bicyclic heteroaryl, aryl, alkylamino, alkyl(aryl)amino, heteroarylamino, arylamino, or acyl. 9. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sup.5 is independently substituted with 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the following I, Cl, F, CF.sub.3, ##STR268## where x is 1 to 5 ##STR269## alkyl, phenyl, phenyl substituted with halo, alkyl, CF.sub.3 O, alkoxy, ##STR270## CF.sub.3, or phenyl; ##STR271## where p is 1 to 5, --N(CH.sub.3)C.sub.6 H.sub.5 ; --S--(CH.sub.2).sub.p CF.sub.3 where p is 1 to 5, ##STR272## --S--alkyl, ##STR273## OCH.sub.3 ; cyclohexyl, ##STR274## amino; ##STR275## alkanoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aroyl, heteroarylaminocarbonyl, arylalkyloxycarbonyl, --CH.sub.2 --S--C.sub.6 H.sub.5, ##STR276## 10. The compound as defined in claim 9 wherein (CH.sub.2).sub.x is (CH.sub.2).sub.4 or ##STR277## Z is a bond; X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are H; R.sup.5 is aryl, which is substituted with trifluoromethylphenyl, heteroaryl, halo and/or aryl or R.sup.5 is heteroaryl wherein the R.sup.5 includes a substituent attached to a carbon adjacent to the carbon linked to ##STR278## 11. The compound as defined in claim 1 which is ##STR279## the monohydrochloride thereof, the dihydrochloride thereof or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 12. The compound as defined in claim 1 which is ##STR280## the monohydrochloride thereof, the dihydrochloride thereof or other pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 13. A compound of the structure ##STR281## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or the piperidine N-oxide thereof. 14. A method for preventing or treating atherosclerosis; pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia; hyperglycemia (1) by causing a reduced absorption of dietary fat through MTP inhibition, (2) by lowering triglycerides through MTP inhibition or (3) by decreasing the absorption of free fatty acids through MTP inhibition; or obesity by causing a reduced absorption of dietary fat through MTP, in a mammal species, which comprises administering to a patient in need of treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound as defined in claim 1 or 13. 15. A method of lowering serum lipid levels, cholesterol and/or triglycerides, or preventing and/or treating hyperlipemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia, which comprises administering to a patient in need of treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound as defined in claim 1 or 13. 16. A compound having the structure ##STR282## including the piperidine N-oxide thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, R.sup.5 is heteroaryl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl or cycloalkyl, each R.sup.5 group being optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents which may be the same or different wherein a substituent on R.sup.5 is adjacent to a ring carbon attached to the ##STR283## group. 17. The compound as defined in claim 16 wherein R.sup.5 is phenyl substituted with haloalkylphenyl or heteroaryl. 18. The compound as defined in claim 17 wherein R.sup.5 is ##STR284## 19. The compound as defined in claim 16 having the structure ##STR285## |
