Gemfibrozil (CI-719) interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha) resulting in PPARalpha-mediated stimulation of fatty acid oxidation and an increase in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis. Gemfibrozil is a fibric acid derivative with hypolipidemic effects. This enhances triglyceride-rich lipoprotein clearance and reduces the expression of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). The reduction in hepatic production of apoC-III result in the subsequent reduction of serum levels of very-low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). In addition, gemfibrozil-mediated PPARalpha stimulation of apoA-I and apoA-II expression results in an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

Polydatin (Piceid), the glycoside of Resveratrol, is originally isolated from the Chinese herb Polygonum cuspidatum. The compound can inhibit platelet aggregation and elevate the ratios of LDL-C HDL-C and TC HDL-C. In the myocardial cell, white blood cell, vascular smooth muscle cell, and endothelial cell, Polydatin can inhibit ICAM-1 expression, elevate Ca2+, weaken white blood cell-endothelial cell adhesion, and activate KATP channels.

RG33, a synthetic 33-amino acid peptide, matches the sequence of amino acids 209-219 and 220-241 found in the C-terminal domain class Y helices of apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1). This compound has the ability to solubilize multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) containing 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DMPC), resulting in the formation of recombinant HDL. When bound to lipids, RG33 facilitates cholesterol efflux in J774 macrophages and has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant mice at a dosage of 12 mg/kg.

CETP-IN-3 is an inhibitor of the plasma glycoprotein cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), elevating HDL-C through inhibition of CETP.

Gemcabene calcium , a first-in-class lipid-lowering agent, lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), decreases triglycerides, and raises high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) andexerting anti-inflammatory activity, lowers pro-inflammatory acute-phase protein, C-reactive protein (CRP).

Potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor (IC50 = 4 nM in an enzyme-based scintillation proximity assay). Inhibits cholesteryl ester transfer and increases HDL-C levels in vivo. Orally bioavailable. Qiao et al (2015) Triphenylethanamine derivatives as cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors: discovery of N-[(1R)-1-(3-cyclopropoxy-4-fluorophenyl)-1-[3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl]-2-phenylethyl]-4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamid J.Med.Chem. 58 9010 PMID:26524347

Obicetrapib calcium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

BLT-1 is a scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI)inhibitor.

LY518674 (LY-674) decreases triglycerides and increases HDL-C and is used for the treatment of atherosclerosis. LY518674 is an effective and selective PPARα agonist (EC50: 42 nM for human PPARα).

Obicetrapib sodium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

Obicetrapib potassium is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor. CETP inhibitors substantially increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which may have a possible beneficial effect for cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

Ibrolipim (NO-1886) attenuates high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells via PI3K Akt pathway.

Methyl protodioscin (Smilax saponin B) potentially increase HDL cholesterol while reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Methyl protodioscin has antitumor property. Methyl protodioscin induced apoptotic process in human A549 cells is closely associated with Mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-3, and mitochondrial cytochrome c.

Bambuterol is a prodrug of β2-agonist commonly used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the advantage of once daily dosing and favorable side effect profile. Administration of a single-dose of R-bambuterol resulted in dose-dependent reductions in the levels of plasma LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) at Tmax. R-bambuterol can lower the plasma levels of LDL-C, and marginally raise the ratio of ApoA1/ApoB (indicator of HDL-C/LDL-C) with both a single dose and multiple doses. R-bambuterol was more potent in LDL-C lowering than rac-bambutero
