Definitions
- This present invention provides for cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors and the use of such inhibitors to elevate certain plasma lipid levels, including high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and to lower certain other plasma lipid levels, such as low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and triglycerides and accordingly to treat diseases which are affected by low levels of HDL cholesterol and/or high levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases in certain mammals (i.e., those which have CETP in their plasma), including humans.
- CETP cholesteryl ester transfer protein
- Atherosclerosis and its associated coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality in the industrialized world.
- CAD coronary artery disease
- CHD coronary heart disease
- LDL-C Low HDL-C is also a known risk factor for CHD (Gordon, DJ. et al., "High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease", Circulation, 79:8-15 (1989)).
- cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity affects all three.
- the net result of CETP activity is a lowering of HDL cholesterol and an increase in LDL cholesterol.
- This effect on lipoprotein profile is believed to be pro-atherogenic, especially in subjects whose lipid profile constitutes an increased risk for CHD.

This leads to the production of a fatty acid-lipase hemiacetal intermediate, which is then cleaved to release a diglyceride. Following further deacylation, the lipase-fatty acid intermediate is cleaved, resulting in free lipase, a glyceride and fatty acid. In the intestine, the resultant free fatty acids and monoglycerides are incorporated into bile acid-phospholipid micelles, which are subsequently absorbed at the level of the brush border of the small intestine.
