Gemfibrozil (CI-719) interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha) resulting in PPARalpha-mediated stimulation of fatty acid oxidation and an increase in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis. Gemfibrozil is a fibric acid derivative with hypolipidemic effects. This enhances triglyceride-rich lipoprotein clearance and reduces the expression of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). The reduction in hepatic production of apoC-III result in the subsequent reduction of serum levels of very-low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). In addition, gemfibrozil-mediated PPARalpha stimulation of apoA-I and apoA-II expression results in an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

Anacetrapib (MK-0859) (MK0859) is an effective, specific, reversible rhCETP and mutant CETP(C13S) inhibitor (IC50: 7.9 nM and 11.8 nM). Anacetrapib reduces the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and or VLDL thereby, producing an increase in serum HDL-cholesterol levels and a decrease in serum LDL-cholesterol levels.

Torcetrapib (CP-529414) is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor designed to reduce the heterotypic transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and or VLDL. It failed in phase III trials due to an excess of deaths.

Brl 26314 can elevate HDL-cholesterol in rats.

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.

Methyl protodioscin (Smilax saponin B) potentially increase HDL cholesterol while reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Methyl protodioscin has antitumor property. Methyl protodioscin induced apoptotic process in human A549 cells is closely associated with Mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-3, and mitochondrial cytochrome c.

Dalcetrapib (RO4607381), a rhCETP inhibitor (IC50=0.2 μM), increases the plasma HDL cholesterol.

Evacetrapib (LY2484595) (LY2484595) is a potent and selective inhibitor of CETP with IC50 of 5.5 nM, elevates HDL cholesterol without increases in aldosterone or blood pressure. Phase 3.

Obicetrapib potassium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

Obicetrapib calcium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

Obicetrapib sodium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

Bambuterol is a prodrug of β2-agonist commonly used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the advantage of once daily dosing and favorable side effect profile. Administration of a single-dose of R-bambuterol resulted in dose-dependent reductions in the levels of plasma LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) at Tmax. R-bambuterol can lower the plasma levels of LDL-C, and marginally raise the ratio of ApoA1 ApoB (indicator of HDL-C LDL-C) with both a single dose and multiple doses. R-bambuterol was more potent in LDL-C lowering than rac-bambutero

GW590735 is a potent and selective agonist of PPARα with an EC50 value of 4 nM for the expression a GAL4-responsive reporter gene and at least 500-fold selectivity versus PPARγ and PPARδ. GW590735 significantly increased HDL cholesterol, decreased LDL and VLDL cholesterol, and significantly reduced triglycerides. Maximal increases in HDL cholesterol were 37%, 53%, and 84% with fenofibrate, torcetrapib, and GW590735, respectively.

Azalanstat HCl is an anti-obesity drug acting as a lanosterol 14α-demethylase inhibitor. Azalanstat HCl has been shown to inhibit cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells, human fibroblasts, hamster hepatocytes and hamster liver, by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 enzyme lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase. When administered orally to hamsters fed regular chow, RS-21607 (50 mg kg day) lowered serum cholesterol in a dose-dependent manner (ED50 = 62 mg kg) in a period of 1 week. It preferentially lowered low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apo B relative to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apo A-1.
