Anacetrapib is a cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor that exhibits anti-atherosclerotic activity. In vivo, anacetrapib inhibits the development of atherosclerosis and decreases levels of VLDL and PCSK9. In a clinical setting, this compound decreases levels of LDL and ApoB. Additionally, anacetrapib may increase levels of HDL and ApoA1.
