Overview

Options for modification of lipoprotein metabolism and, thus, for reduction of atherothrombotic complication have widened over recent years. Apart from the development of novel approaches new pharmacological formulations of common lipid lowering drugs have been prepared- e.g. statin-containing nanoparticles, fibrate nanoparticles with a much higher bioavailability etc. Even the oldest lipid lowering agents – resins – have not been forgotten due to its once again discovered positive impact of these agents on glucose homeostasis while optimally complementing the action of statins. Clinical trials of therapies targeting HDL particle metabolism are being in progress despite we have not gathered any unambiguous evidence of positive effect of the CETP inhibitors or apoA1 mimetics on the progression of atherosclerosis. Brand new approaches in the treatment of dyslipidemia including MTTP and PCSK9 inhibition or therapies utilizing anti-sense technologies rapidly accumulate evidence from clinical studies. We have already learned about their lipid-modifying efficacy particularly in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, however, data from other patients´ populations can be expected quite soon.

Key words:
CETP inhibitors – dyslipidemia – ezetimibe – fibrates – lomitapid – mipomersen – PCSK9 inhibitors – statins – resins
