Anacetrapib is a CETP inhibitor which was being developed to treat elevated cholesterol levels in an effort prevent cardiovascular disease.[1] In 2017 its development was abandoned by Merck.[2]

Other CETP inhibitors:

  • Torcetrapib was developed by Pfizer until December 2006 but caused unacceptable increases in blood pressure and had net cardiovascular detriment.
  • Dalcetrapib was developed by Hoffmann–La Roche until May 2012. It did not raise blood pressure and did raise HDL, but it showed no clinically meaningful efficacy.
  • Evacetrapib was developed by Eli Lilly & Company until October 2015.
