An efficient enantioselective synthesis of the chiral polycyclic cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor 1 has been developed. The synthesis was rendered practical for large scale via the development of a modified Hantzsch-type reaction to prepare the sterically hindered pyridine ring, enantioselective hydrogenation of hindered ketone 6 utilizing novel BIBOP-amino-pyridine derived R...
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. It is a multi-factorial disease and several studies have demonstrated that the genetic factors play a major role in CAD. Although variations in cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene are reported to be associated with CAD, this gene has not been studied in South Indian populations. Hence we eva...
RATIONALE Therapies that inhibit CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) have failed to demonstrate a reduction in risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Human DNA sequence variants that truncate the CETP gene may provide insight into the efficacy of CETP inhibition. OBJECTIVE To test whether protein-truncating variants (PTVs) at the CETP gene were associated with plasma lipid levels and CH...
Epidemiologic studies have shown that the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a strong, independent, inverse predictor of coronary heart disease risk. This identifies HDL-C as a potential therapeutic target. Compared with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering agents, however, currently available HDL-raising drugs are relatively ineffective. Consequent...
ApoCI (apolipoprotein CI) is a potent inhibitor of plasma CETP [CE (cholesteryl ester) transfer protein]. The relevance of apoCI overexpression as a method for CETP blockade in vivo was addressed in the present study in CETPTg/apoCITg mice (mice expressing both human CETP and apoCI). Despite a significant reduction in specific CETP activity in CETPTg/apoCITg mice compared with CETPTg mice [tran...
If one could design a metabolic intervention to prevent incident or recurrent cardiovascular events, it might look a lot like torcetrapib. Torcetrapib is the first cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor extensively studied in humans. Torcetrapib, in addition to statin therapy, raised high-density lipoprotein (HDL) by 70%, lowered low-density lipoprotein by 25%, and lowered triglyce...
Until recently, two key members of the innate immune response to Gram negative bacteria, bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein, have been considered to be members of a small family of lipid-binding proteins that also contains cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). A recent paper has characteri...
Activities of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) were measured in plasma of four vertebrate species: man, rabbit, pig, and rat. The activities were measured in the absence and presence of antibodies raised against purified human CETP. PLTP activities were present in all four species with highest values in pig (11.7 +/- 1.2 U/ml) and human plasma (...
Lipid transfer inhibitor protein (LTIP, apolipoprotein F) regulates the interaction of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) with lipoproteins and is postulated to enhance the ability of CETP to stimulate reverse cholesterol transport. The factors that regulate LTIP levels and control its biosynthesis are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that plasma LTIP is dramatically increased (3-fold) in h...
