    Journal:  Effect of amorphous nanoparticle size on bioavailability of anacetrapib in dogs. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 23, 2020   
    A differential response in bioavailability was observed with ∼100 nm or smaller particles resulting in higher average exposure compared to ∼200 nm or larger particles. This increase in bioavailability could not be fully accounted for by the improvement in dissolution rate and was not as pronounced as that achieved by improving solubilization by co-administration with a high fat meal.

    Journal:  Steering the lipid transfer to unravel the mechanism of CETP inhibition. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 26, 2020   
    Recently reported inhibitors, torcetrapib and anacetrapib, exhibited low potency in addition to severe side effects, which essentially demanded a thorough knowledge of the inhibition mechanism...Further, inhibitors bring about the conformational changes in CETP that hamper CE passage and expose protein residues that disrupt the optimal hydrophobicity of CE transfer path. The atomic level details presented here could accelerate the designing of safe and efficacious CETP inhibitors.

    Journal:  Is Anacetrapib Better Than Its CETP Inhibitor Counterparts? (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 19, 2020   
    This review will focus on high-density lipoprotein metabolism and transport, looking particularly at cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors. While studies of the other CETP inhibitors in its class have not shown a significant improvement in the prevention of primary or secondary cardiovascular risk, anacetrapib, the fourth and latest of the CETP inhibitors to be investigated, may be more promising.

    Review, Journal:  CETP inhibition, statins and diabetes. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 23, 2019   
    However, unlike statins, anacetrapib decreases the risk of developing diabetes. If the reduced risk of new-onset diabetes is confirmed in another CETP inhibitor outcome trial, there will be a case for considering the use of the combination of a statin plus a CETP inhibitor in high ASCVD-risk people who are also at increased risk of developing diabetes.

    Review, Journal:  Cholesteryl ester transfer protein: An enigmatic pharmacology - Antagonists and agonists. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 23, 2019   
    The pharmacological approach to the CETP system remains enigmatic, although the failure of CETP antagonists has dampened enthusiasm. Studies on the system, a crossroad for any investigation on cholesterol metabolism, have however provided crucial contributions and will still be confronting any scientist working on CV prevention.

    Review, Journal:  Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibition for Preventing Cardiovascular Events: JACC Review Topic of the Week. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 23, 2019   
    In the 30,000-patient REVEAL (Randomized Evaluation of the Effects of Anacetrapib through Lipid Modification) trial, anacetrapib doubled HDL cholesterol, reduced non-HDL cholesterol by 17 mg/dl (0.44 mmol/l), and reduced major vascular events by 9% over 4 years, but anaceptrapib was found to accumulate in adipose tissue, and regulatory approval is not being sought. Therefore, despite considerable initial promise, CETP inhibition provides insufficient cardiovascular benefit for routine use.

    Review, Journal:  Plasma high density lipoproteins: Therapeutic targeting and links to atherogenic inflammation. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 4, 2019   
    The CETP inhibitor anacetrapib reproduced the phenotype of homozygous CETP deficiency and showed a highly significant benefit for CAD in the REVEAL trial...In addition, clonal hematopoiesis has emerged as an important CAD risk factor, likely involving macrophage inflammation and inflammasome activation. Further elucidation of the mechanisms linking plaque accumulation of cholesterol and oxidized lipids to myeloid cell inflammation may lead to the development of new therapeutics specifically targeting atherogenic inflammation, with likely benefit for CAD.

    No safety concerns emerged for non-vascular mortality or morbidity during the post-trial period. Collectively, these clinical outcome trials do not support raising HDL cholesterol by inhibiting cholesteryl ester transfer protein, as a mechanism for improving cardiovascular outcomes, in the total population of subjects with coronary artery disease.

    These findings warrant validation and suggest a strategy to identify those most likely to benefit from interventions targeting reverse cholesterol transport. This paper presents a summary of key clinical cardiology trials during the past year and should be of practical value to both clinicians and cardiology researchers.

    Preclinical, Journal:  Characterization of anacetrapib distribution into the lipid droplet of adipose tissue in mice and human cultured adipocytes. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 30, 2019   
    In vivo, the entry of anacetrapib into adipose tissue did not require lipase activity, as the distribution of anacetrapib into adipose was not affected by systemic lipase inhibition using oloaxamer-407, a systemic lipase inhibitor. The data from these studies support the notion that entry of anacetrapib into adipose tissue/lipid droplet does not require active transport or by mobilization and entry of fat into adipose via lipolysis.

    Journal:  An update on trials of novel lipid-lowering drugs. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 9, 2019   
    The data from these studies support the notion that entry of anacetrapib into adipose tissue/lipid droplet does not require active transport or by mobilization and entry of fat into adipose via lipolysis. Despite the success of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin-9 inhibition, the ability to achieve low LDL-C with off-patent medications and the costs of novel therapies will limit their use even in high-risk patients and confine them to the highest-risk sub-groups of patients.

    It provides no support for the hypothesis that ADCY9 genotype is materially relevant to the clinical effects of the CETP inhibitor anacetrapib. The ongoing dal-GenE study will provide direct evidence as to whether there is any specific pharmacogenetic interaction with dalcetrapib.

    Journal:  The Trials and Tribulations of CETP Inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 22, 2019   
    Anacetrapib treatment was associated with a small increase in BP, but was devoid of major side effects and was also associated with a small reduction in diabetes. Treatment with CETP inhibitors, either alone or in combination with statins, could provide another option for patients with coronary disease who require further reduction in LDL and/or non-HDL cholesterol.

    Our results show that CETP is an important causal determinant of HDL and VLDL concentration and composition, which may imply that the CETP inhibitor anacetrapib decreased cardiovascular disease risk through specific reduction of small VLDL rather than LDL. The contrast between genetic and observational associations might be explained by a high capacity of VLDL, IDL and LDL subclasses to carry CETP, thereby concealing causal effects on HDL.

    Conclusions Among patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease who were receiving intensive statin therapy, the use of anacetrapib resulted in a lower incidence of major coronary events than the use of placebo.
