The lipid-lowering effects of two novel antihyperlipidemic agents, BMI2C [N-(4-benzoylphenyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxamide] and DDMI2C [N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-2-yl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxamide], were studied using hyperlipidemic rats as an experimental model; hyperlipidemia was developed by intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (200 mg/kg body weight). At a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, BMI2C and DDMI2C significantly reduced elevated plasma triglyceride levels after 7 and 24 h. Furthermore, BMI2C and DDMI2C significantly reduced elevated plasma total cholesterol levels after 24 h. Interestingly, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were significantly increased in all treated groups. These findings indicate that the two studied novel compounds have a promising potential in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

The N-(benzoylphenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives 1-6 were synthesized, and the lipid-lowering effects of two of these novel compounds were studied using hyperlipidemic rats as an experimental model. Treatment of ethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate with aminobenzophenones in the presence of sodium ethoxide and DMF, followed by purification using column chromatography, gave the target compounds in good yields. The tested animals were divided into control, hyperlipidemic, compounds 2-, 3- and bezafibrate-treated groups. At a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, compounds 2, 3 and bezafibrate significantly reduced the elevated plasma triglyceride levels after 7 and 24 h. Furthermore, the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were remarkably increased in all treated groups after 7 and 24 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. However, only compounds 2- and 3-treated groups obviously showed a significant reduction in plasma total cholesterol levels after 24 h. It is therefore reasonable to assume that 2 and 3 may have a promising potential in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart diseases.

In the search for new potential antihyperlipidemic agents, the present study focuses on the synthesis of novel N-(benzoylphenyl)-5-substituted-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (compounds 8-12, 15, 16, 18) and investigating their antihyperlipidemic activity using Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats as an experimental model. Hyperlipidemia was developed by intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (250 mg/kg body weight). The tested animals were divided into normal control (NCG), hyperlipidemic (HG), compound 8, 9, 15, 16, 18- and bezafibrate treated groups. At a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, compounds 9, 16, 18 and bezafibrate (100 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced elevated plasma triglycerides levels after 12 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. However, only the group treated with compounds 9, 16 and 18 showed an obviously significant (p < 0.001) reduction in plasma total cholesterol levels after 12 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. Moreover, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were significantly (p < 0.0001) increased in all treated groups after 12 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group, except for compounds 8 and 15 which revealed inactive. It is therefore reasonable to assume that compounds 9, 16 and 18 may have potential in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

A novel series of 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c-3g) were synthesized. The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible antihyperlipidemic effect of these novel compounds on hyperlipidemic rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (300 mg/kg). The tested animals were divided into normal control (NCG), hyperlipidemic control (HCG), compounds 3c-, 3d-, 3e-, 3f-, 3g- and bezafibrate (BF)-treated groups. At a dose of 15 mg/kg, compounds 3c-3g and BF (100 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced elevated plasma triglycerides levels after 12 and 24 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. However, only compounds 3e and 3g obviously showed a significant (p < 0.0001) reduction in plasma total cholesterol levels after 12 and 24 h. Moreover, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly increased in all treated groups. The current study demonstrates that 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c-3g) have a definite antihyperlipidemic potential and these beneficial activities may contribute to their cardioprotective and antiatherosclerotic role.

Hyperlipidemia is a known cause of coronary vascular diseases, which is a major cause of death in many parts of the world. Targeting several pathways that lead to increase in lipid profiles is of great potential to control diseases. 1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives were tested for their hypolipidemic activity at the molecular level in comparison with bezafibrate. The gene expression profiles of lipoprotein signaling and cholesterol metabolism and fatty acid metabolism PCR arrays were determined in rats with acute hyperlipidemia induced by Triton WR1339. Lipid profiles of serum from treated rats showed significant hypolipidemic effect by the compounds. Several genes of potential interest were reported to be overexpressed by Triton WR1339 including Apoc3, Apob, Hmgcs2, Apoa1, Apoe, Apof, acsl1, and Decr1. Most of the overexpressed genes were downregulated by N-(3-Benzoylphenyl)-1H-Indole-2-Carboxamide with significant decreases in Apoc3, Apob, Acaa2, Acsl1, and Slc247a5 gene expression levels. N-(4-Benzoylphenyl)-1H-Indole-2-Carboxamide and bezafibrate did not significantly affect the gene expression levels which were increased with acute hyperlipidemia induced by Triton WR1339. In conclusion, gene expression profiling identified the possible mechanism in which Triton WR1339 induces its acute hyperlipidemic effect which was reversed by the use of N-(3-Benzoylphenyl)-1H-Indole-2-Carboxamide.
