Abstract
Novel 2-substituted isobutyric acid derivatives were synthesized and their hypolipidemic activity was evaluated in high cholesterol diet fed rat model. The amide Sa was found to decrease the levels of serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in hyperlipidemic rats to a greater degree than the reference gemfibrozil.
