Abstract
Compounds which are useful as inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis and thus as hypocholesteroleumic agents are provided which have the structure ##STR1## wherein R is OH, or salts thereof or lower alkoxy; R.sup.x is H or alkyl; PA1 X is --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CH--, --C.tbd.C--, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 O-- (where O is linked to Z); PA1 Z is a hydrophobic anchor, such as ##STR2## wherein the dotted lines represent optional double bonds. New intermediates used in preparing the above compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and a method for using such compounds to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis are also provided.
