Abstract
2,4-Disubstituted pyrroles were polycondensed and tested for lipid-lowering effects in mice. Fluoro-substituted pyrrole monomers and polymers lowered total serum cholesterol by 30-35% and LDL-cholesterol by 47-64%. The lipidlowering effects were similar for polymers and their monomers, however, the polymers produced these effects at dosage concentrations 1/8th that of the monomers.
