Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro
Anacetrapib (MK-0859) is not only able to increase HDL-cholesterol, but also further decreases LDL-cholesterol when taken in combination with a statin. It dose-dependently and significantly decreases the transfer of CE from HDL3 to HDL2. This compound doesn't affect the amount of [14C]-dalcetrapibthiol bound to rhCETP. It decreases pre-β-HDL formation by more than 46%. Anacetrapib potently blocks CE and TG transfer in 95% human serum.
In vivo
In a dyslipidemic hamster model, 60 mg/kg/day Anacetrapib (MK-0859) for 2 weeks results in a 94% reduction in CETP activity and 47% increase in HDL-cholesterol compared with control animals; non-HDL-cholesterol concentrations are not affected. This compound also promotes reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages, and leads to a 30% increase in fecal cholesterol content. HDL from it-treated hamsters reveals an increase in SR-B1- and ABCG1-mediated efflux compared with controls. After oral administration of [14C]Anacetrapib at 10 mg/kg, ∼80 and 90% of the radioactive dose is recovered over 48 hous postdose from rats and monkeys, respectively. The majority of the administered radioactive dose is excreted unchanged in feces in both species.
