Anacetrapib
A cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor with hypocholesterolemic properties. Anacetrapib reduces the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and/or VLDL thereby, producing an increase in serum HDL-cholesterol levels and a decrease in serum LDL-cholesterol levels. This agent has not yet been shown to reduce deaths associated with hypercholesterolemia. (NCI Thesaurus)
