CETP INHIBITORS- A PROBABLE CLASS ACTION EFFECT TO BE PROATHEROGENIC
March 6, 2007
CETP INHIBITORS: A PROBABLE CLASS ACTION EFFECT TO BE PROATHEROGENIC | mediaroom.pfizer.com
By reducing fractional catabolic rate and by producing a large, cholesterol rich HDL molecule which could not easily be cleared by hepatic HDL receptors, our research group in Cincinnati thought from the beginning that the CETP inhibitors AS A CLASS would fail, and might even be proatherogenic. Regrettably, with torcetrapib this sequence of events seemed to occur. Our concern is that this is a class effect and that CETP inhibitors are not a fruitful area for further drug development.
