Torcetrapib is a CETP inhibitor which was developed by Pfizer for the treatment of diseases associated with elevated level of cholesterol. The drug was tested in phase III (in combination with atorvastatin) of clinical trials in coronary heart disease patients as well as in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, however its development was terminated due to the high risk of death and heart problems.

Sample Use Guides

Patients were receiving torcetrapib at a dose 10, 30, 60, or 90 mg/day.
Route of Administration: Oral
For determination of in vitro potency, a pool of plasma from 3 individuals having a CETP concentration 1.95 ug/mL (37 nM) was tested and treated with 10-1000 nM of torcetrapib.
