The drug 20, 25 diazacholestenol, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis, was administered to 42 subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary atherosclerosis in doses of 25 mg/100 ml/day for up to 20 months. Serum cholesterol was determined every 2 to 3 weeks and serum lactescence, liptoproteins, and phospholipids every 6 to 9 weeks. Photographs of the arcus senilis in the cornea and of xanthelasma and xanthomata were made every 3 months.
