[0316] The CrysAlisPro program was used for data reduction and empirical absorption correction. The SHELXT program was used to analyze the structure through a dual-space algorithm. All non-hydrogen atoms can be located directly from the differential Fourier diagram. The skeleton hydrogen atoms were geometrically placed and a riding model was used to confine them to the parent atoms. The SHELXL program was used to complete the refinement of the final structure by using the full matrix technique to minimize the sum of the square deviations of F.sup.2.

[0317] The fine single crystal structure is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The chemical formula unit of the single crystal is C.sub.32H.sub.42N.sub.2O.sub.4S, which crystallizes in an orthogonal form in the P2.sub.12.sub.12.sub.1 space group. Each asymmetric unit has one molecule, which shows a cis conformation, and the chiral carbon is shown as “S”. Each unit crystal cell has four molecules. The hydrogen bond of O5-H5 . . . O4 was found through symmetrical operation.

Biological Tests

Test Example 1: Analysis of the In Vitro Inhibition of the Present Compound on Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) Activity

[0456] ADP-Glo™ Kinase Analysis Kit (Promega) is used for the in vitro analysis of the inhibitory effect of the present compound on ACC1 or ACC2. ADP-Glo™ Kinase Analysis is a kinase detection analysis of luminescence method. ADP is produced in the process of catalyzing the substrate by ACC. ADP is converted into ATP which is then converted into light by Ultra-Glo™ luciferase. ADP is quantified by detecting the light signal, thus the enzyme activity can be measured by quantification of the ADP amount produced during the enzyme reaction. The analysis is carried out in two steps: in the first step, after the kinase reaction, a portion of ADP-Glo™ reagent equal in volume to the kinase reaction system is added to terminate the reaction and consume the remaining ATP; in the second step, a kinase detection reagent is added, which not only converts ADP into ATP, but also uses a coupled luciferase/luciferin reaction to detect newly synthesized ATP.

[0503] Test Methods:

[0504] a. HepG2 cells were purchased from the American type culture collection (ATCC) resource bank. Cells were cultured in MEM (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 units/mL) and streptomycin (100 μg/mL), and then incubated in a 37° C. incubator containing 5% carbon dioxide, and passaged once every 2 to 3 days.

[0505] b. On the first day, 800 HepG2 cells were inoculated in each well of a 384-well cell culture plate, and then incubated in a 37° C. incubator containing 5% carbon dioxide.

[0506] c. On the second day, the medium was changed to that containing the compound. The concentrations of the compound were 30 μM, 10 μM, 3.33 μM, 1.11 μM, 0.37 μM, 0.123 μM, 0.0411 μM, 0.0137 μM, 0.00457 μM and 0.00152 μM. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.3% (v/v). The plate was incubated for 3 days in a incubator containing 5% carbon dioxide at 37° C. The reaction system with paclitaxel at a final concentration of 1 μM was used as positive control; the reaction system with no compound but DMSO at a final concentration of 0.3% was used as negative control.

[0507] d. The cell plate to be tested was placed at room temperature to equilibrate for 30 min.

[0508] e. 30 μL of CTG reagent (CelTiter Glo reagent) was added to each well, placed on a fast shaker for 2 min, and placed in the dark at room temperature for 10 min.

[0509] f. The chemiluminescence signal value was read with Envision 2104 instrument.

[0510] The average value of the positive and negative control well and the standard deviation were calculated. The percentage inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula: 100×[1−(compound−average value of positive control)/(average value of negative control−average value of positive control)].

[0511] IC.sub.50 of the compound was obtained using GraphPad Prism 6 software according to the following nonlinear fitting formula:


Y=Bottom+(Top−Bottom)/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((Log IC.sub.50−X)×HillSlope)),

[0512] wherein X is the logarithm of the compound concentration, Y is the inhibition rate; Top and Bottom are the Y values at the highest and lowest plateau of the curve; Hillslope is the Hill constant.

[0513] The inhibitory activities of the present compound on proliferation of HepG2 cells are shown in Table 5 below.

[0514] The compound of the invention has no significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HepG2 cells, suggesting a relatively high liver safety.
