Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of the Formula below: where R is H or —CH3; methods of treating patients for hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease including dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, and processes for preparing the compounds.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of the Formula below: where R is H or —CH3; methods of treating patients for hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease including dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, and processes for preparing the compounds.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (1) are described in which Ra and Rb is each independently a hydrogen atom or a group Rc, or Ra and Rb together form an oxo (?O) or thio (?S) group; X is a N atom or an optionally substituted CH group: Y is a —O— or —S— atom or —SO— or —SO2— group or an optionally substituted —CH2— or —NH— group with the proviso that when Ra and Rb together form an oxo (?O) or thio (?S) group Y is an optionally substituted —CH2— or —NH-group; L1 is a covalent bond or a linker atom or group; p is zero or the integer 1; Alk1 is an optionally substituted C1-10aliphatic or C1-10heteroaliphatic chain; n is zero the integer 1, 2 or 3 with the proviso that when n is zero Y is an optionally substituted —CH2— group; Ar is an optionally substituted C6-12aromatic or C1-9heteroaromatic group; m is zero or the integer 1, 2 or 3; q is zero or the integer 1 or 2; R1, Rc and Rd are hydrogen atoms or the substituents described in the patent specification; and the salts, solvates, hydrates and N-oxides thereof.
