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.

Lowering of serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels remains the primary aim of lipid management. Much progress has been made in reducing rates of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, largely through increased awareness of lipid-lowering therapies and particularly through the

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-inhibiting drugs effectively raise HDL cholesterol. In 2007, the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib unexpectedly showed increased fatality and cardiovascular events, possibly related to increased blood pressure and aldosterone levels caused by torcetrapib. Since then, novel CETP inhibiting

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) facilitates the transfer of HDL cholesteryl ester to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL). This study aimed to determine the effects of CETP inhibition with torcetrapib on TRL composition and apoB-48 metabolism. Study subjects with low HDL cholesterol

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).
Shengjun Fan et al.
BMC systems biology, 6, 152-152 (2012-12-12)
Torcetrapib, a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor which raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level, has been documented to increase mortality and cardiac events associated with adverse effects. However, it is still unclear the
