A CETP inhibitor is a member of a class of drugs that inhibit cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP). [1] [2] ...
Cholesteryl ester is transported from high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) with cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). [5] The decrease in cholesteryl ester can lower HDL and increase LDL, which may be an indicator of cardiovascular problems, as indicated by ...
In humans, probably the most relevant pathway is the indirect one, which is mediated by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). [2] This protein exchanges triglycerides of VLDL against cholesteryl esters of HDL.
The cholesterol is converted to cholesteryl esters by the enzyme LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase) for sstorage. The cholesteryl esters can be transferred, with the help of CETP (cholesterylester transfer protein) in exchange for triglycerides, to other lipoproteins (such as LDL, VLDL, IDL). These other lipoproteins can be eventually ...
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 ...
It converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester, a more hydrophobic form of cholesterol. This process sequesters cholesterol ester into the core of a lipoprotein particle, eventually making the newly synthesized HDL spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the particles are removed from the surface.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors include the agents torcetrapib, anacetrapib and obicetrapib. They block transfer of cholesterol from "good" HDL particles to "bad" LDL particles thereby causing an increase in the HDL:LDL ratio.
