Abstract: This invention relates to novel compounds which are thyroid receptor ligands, preferably antagonists, and to methods for using such compounds in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, thyrotoxicosis and subclinical hyperthyrodism.

Abstract: New thyroid receptor ligands are provided which have general formula (I) in which: n is an integer from 0 to 4; R1 is halogen, trifluoromethyl, or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons or cycloalkyl of 3 to 7 carbons; R2 and R3 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons or cycloalkyl of 3 to 5 carbons, at least one of R2 and R3 being other than hydrogen; R4 is a carboxylic acid amide (CONR?R?) or an acylsulphonamide (CONHSO2R?) derivative, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and all stereolsom thereof; or when n is equal to or greater than one, R4 may be heteroaromatic moiety which may be substituted or unsubstituted, or an amine (NR?R?). R5 is hydrogen or an acyl (such as acetyl or benzoyl) or other group capable of bioconversion to generate the free phenol structure (wherein R5—H).

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) which are thyroid receptor ligands, and are preferably selective for the thyroid hormone receptor ?, to methods of preparing such compounds and to methods for using such compounds such as in the regulation of metabolism.
