Herein we describe the synthesis and structure activity relationship of a new class of FXR agonists identified from a high-throughput screening campaign. Further optimization of the original hits led to molecules that were highly active in an LDL-receptor KO model for dyslipidemia. The most promising candidate is discussed in more detail.
