Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
rhCETP [1]
0.2 μM
In vitro
Dalcetrapib (JTT-705) modulates CETP activity and induces a conformational change in CETP when added to human plasma. CETP-induced pre-β-HDL formation in human plasma is unchanged by this compound at ≤3 µM and increased at 10 µM. It statistically and significantly increases pre-β-HDL formation. [1] Dalcetrapib achieves 50% inhibition of CETP activity in human plasma at a concentration of 9 μM. [2] It also inhibits the CETP activity of media in HepG2 in a dose-dependent manner. [3]
Kinase Assay
Inhibition of rhCETP and C13S CETP-mediated transfer of CE from HDL to LDL
The inhibitory potency (IC50) of Dalcetrapib (JTT-705) to decrease CE transfer from HDL to LDL by rhCETP and C13S CETP is measured using a scintillation proximity assay kit. Briefly, [3H]CE-labeled HDL donor particles are incubated in the presence of purified CETP proteins (final concentration 0.5 µg/mL) and biotinylated LDL acceptor particles for 3 hours at 37 °C. Subsequently, streptavidin-coupled polyvinyltoluene beads containing liquid scintillation cocktail binding selectively to biotinylated LDL are added, and the amount of [3H]CE molecules transferred to LDL is measured by β counting.
In vivo
Treatment with Dalcetrapib (JTT-705) leads to significant increases in HDL-C levels. In hamsters injected with [3H]cholesterol-labeled autologous macrophages, it significantly increases fecal elimination of both [3H]neutral sterols and [3H]bile acids. This compound also increases plasma HDL-[3H]cholesterol. [1] It has 95% inhibition of CETP activity in male Japanese white rabbits at an oral dose of 30 mg/kg. When given at oral doses of 30 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg once a day for 3 days to male Japanese white rabbits, it increases the plasma HDL cholesterol level by 27% and 54%, respectively. [2] Treatment with this compound markedly increases serum levels of HDL-C. The ratio of HDL2-C to HDL3-C is significantly higher in Dalcetrapib–treated rabbits than in control rabbits at 5 and 7 months, indicating that the inhibition of CETP activity by it changes the distribution of HDL subfractions and preferentially increases HDL2-C levels. Its treatment increases serum paraoxonase activity and HDL-associated platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity, but decreases the plasma lysophosphatidylcholine concentration. [4]
