Summary:This invention concerns heterocyclic derivatives of formula (I) which are useful in inhibiting oxido-squalene cyclase, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The present invention is also concerned with heterocyclic derivatives capable of inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis and hence in lowering cholesterol levels in blood plasma. The present invention also relates to methods of using such heterocyclic derivatives in diseases and medical conditions such as hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. La présente invention concerne des dérivés hétérocycliques de la formule (I) qui sont utilisés pour inhiber l'oxydo-squalène cyclase, des procédés de préparation de ces derniers et des compositions pharmaceutiques les contenant. La présente invention se rapporte également à des dérivés hétérocycliques capables d'inhiber la biosynthèse du cholestérol et, par conséquent, de réduire les niveaux de cholestérol du plasma sanguin. La présente invention concerne enfin des procédés permettant d'utiliser ces dérivés hétérocycliques lors de maladies et d'états pathologiques tels que l'hypercholestérolémie et l'athérosclérose.
