Three series of xanthone sulfonamides were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against acyl‐ C o A : cholesterol acyltransferase ( ACAT ) were evaluated. Results showed that most of the title compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activity against ACAT , of which compounds 1c , 1e , 1f , 2d , 2e, and 3d were proved to be more active than the positive control S andoz 58‐035. Computational docking experiments indicated that the interaction between inhibitors and ACAT contained the H ‐bond interaction, the hydrophobic interaction, and the narrow hydrophobic cleft.
