CP-532623, a close structural analog of Torcetrapib, is a CETP inhibitor with highly lipophilic properties. It elevates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
CKD-519 is a selective inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). It inhibits CETP-mediated transfer of cholesteryl ester in human serum (IC50: 2.3 nM).
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) α, δ, γ are ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis as well as insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Pharmacologies of PPARδ receptor agonists, though relatively obscure, have recently been reported to elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lower plasma triglyceride (TG) levels in obese insulin resistant rhesus monkeys. CAY10592 is a full PPARδ agonist (EC50 = 30 nM) in a fatty acid oxidation assay of rat L6 muscle cells with desirable oral pharmacokinetic properties. In a transactivation assay using human PPAR receptors, CAY10592 acts as a selective partial PPARδ agonist (EC50 = 53 nM) with no effect on PPARα or PPARγ activity up to 30 μM. Chronic treatment of high fat fed ApoB100/CETP-transgenic mice with CAY10592 at a dose of 20 mg/kg increases HDL levels, decreases LDL and TG levels, and improves insulin sensitivity.
Potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor (IC50 = 4 nM in an enzyme-based scintillation proximity assay). Inhibits cholesteryl ester transfer and increases HDL-C levels in vivo. Orally bioavailable.
