The CETP inhibitor torcetrapib (8) proved very effective in lowering cholesterol levels in humans; the drug not only lowered low-density lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL) but also raised levels of high density lipoproteins . This agent, which had only a brief time on the market due to adverse safety reports, is included here to illustrate an unusual ...
Obicetrapib is an experimental CETP inhibitor that is intended to treat dyslipidemia.In a clinical trial, as an add-on to statins, compared with placebo, it decreased concentrations of LDL-C (by up to 51%), apolipoprotein B (by up to 30%) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) (by up to 44%), and increased HDL-C concentration (by up to 165%).
Anacetrapib is a CETP inhibitor which was being developed to treat elevated cholesterol levels in an effort to prevent cardiovascular disease. [1] In 2017 its development was abandoned by Merck . [ 2 ]
Evacetrapib was a drug under development by Eli Lilly and Company (investigational name LY2484595) that inhibits cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP inhibitor).CETP collects triglycerides from very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and exchanges them for cholesteryl esters from high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and vice versa, but primarily increasing high ...

Dalcetrapib [4] (INN, codenamed JTT-705) is a CETP inhibitor which was originally being developed by F. Hoffmann–La Roche until May 2012. [5] [6] DalCor Pharmaceuticals licensed dalcetrapib as a potential pioneering precision medicine for patients with cardiovascular disease. By combining genetic and clinical insights into the development ...
