Application

Torcetrapib has been used as a reference standard in the medium chain-lipid based formulations.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Torcetrapib is a Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP normally transfers cholesterol from HDL cholesterol to very low density or low density lipoproteins (VLDL or LDL). Inhibition of this process results in higher HDL levels (the "good" cholesterol-containing particle) and reduces LDL levels (the "bad" cholesterol). Unfortunately clinical trials were stopped because of excessive all cause mortality. Reasons are still being investigated, but may be related to some off target effects such as an increase in aldosterone secretion not found in some other CETP inhibitors.

Considerable attention focuses on the ability to develop therapeutic agents that elevate levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors have been developed on the basis of their ability to raise HDL-C to a greater extent

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that mediates bidirectional transfers of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Because low levels of plasma CETP are associated with increased plasma HDL-cholesterol, therapeutic inhibition of

Human plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transports cholesteryl ester from the antiatherogenic high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to the proatherogenic low-density and very low-density lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL). Inhibition of CETP has been shown to raise human plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C)
Philip J Barter et al.
Circulation, 124(5), 555-562 (2011-08-02)
High-density lipoproteins have antidiabetic properties in vitro. Furthermore, elevated high-density lipoprotein levels accompanying a genetic deficiency of cholesteryl ester transfer protein are associated with decreased levels of plasma glucose. We now investigate effects on glucose homeostasis of inhibiting cholesteryl ester
Alexander J M Rennings et al.
Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 17(10), 1589-1597 (2008-09-24)
Despite reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, there is still a considerable amount of residual atherosclerosis-related disease. Epidemiological and pathophysiological data strongly favour increasing plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels as antiatherogenic therapy, for example with cholesteryl ester transfer inhibition (CETP).
