Evolution of LDL-C Lowering Medications and Their Cardiovascular Benefits: Past, Present, and Future.
(PubMed, Curr Probl Cardiol)
- "Major landmark cardiovascular outcome clinical trials demonstrated that LDL-C lowering medications reduce cardiovascular events, and the lower the LDL-C the better the outcome. This article discusses the evolution of LDL-C lowering medications starting from bile acid sequestrants (BAS), statin therapy, bempedoic acid, the proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) synthesis inhibitor, novel small interfering RNA-based therapy (inclisiran) to the most recent oral PCSK9 inhibitors (MK-0616) which is currently under phase 3 clinical trial studies."

Oral PCSK9 Inhibitors.
(PubMed, Curr Atheroscler Rep)
- "Clinical trial data on the safety and efficacy of MK-0616 are promising and report LDL-C-lowering efficacy comparable to that provided by injectable PCSK9 inhibitors. Ongoing and future studies of oral PCSK9 inhibitors in development will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of these agents and their potential role in preventing cardiovascular disease events."

The translational potential of miR-26 in atherosclerosis and development of agents for its target genes ACC1/2, COL1A1, CPT1A, FBP1, DGAT2, and SMAD7.
(PubMed, Cardiovasc Diabetol)
- "Many agents targeting these genes, such as the ACC1/2 inhibitors GS-0976, PF-05221304, and MK-4074; the DGAT2 inhibitors IONIS-DGAT2Rx, PF-06427878, PF-0685571, and PF-07202954; the COL1A1 inhibitor HT-100; the stimulants Ga-CBP8 and RCT-01; the CPT1A inhibitors etomoxir, perhexiline, and teglicar; the FBP1 inhibitors CS-917 and MB07803; and the SMAD7 inhibitor mongersen, have been investigated in clinical trials...Many PCSK9 inhibitors, including alirocumab, evolocumab, inclisiran, AZD8233, Civi-007, MK-0616, and LIB003, have been investigated in clinical trials...Multiple materials can be used to deliver miR-26, but it is unclear which material is most suitable for mass production and clinical applications. This review focuses on the potential use of miR-26 in treating atherosclerosis to support the development of agents targeting it."

New Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor: "MK-0616".
(PubMed, Cardiol Rev)
- "The results achieved so far are promising for individuals with hypercholesterolemia, as they offer a potential solution for effectively lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients on statin therapy and mitigating the risk of cardiovascular events. Ongoing research and monitoring will be critical to establish its long-term safety and efficacy, but MK-0616 may emerge as a valuable addition to the array of lipid-lowering therapies available to patients."

PCSK9-directed therapies: an update.
(PubMed, Curr Opin Lipidol)
- "Long-term inhibition of PCSK9 with monoclonal antibodies is safe and conveys sustained cardiovascular benefit. Novel strategies to inhibit PCSK9 function such as orally available drugs, RNA targeting, and one-time treatment with gene editing may further enhance the therapeutic armamentarium and enable novel preventive strategies."

Highlights of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Studies Presented at the 2023 American College of Cardiology Conference.
(PubMed, Curr Atheroscler Rep)
- "The CLEAR outcomes randomized control trial (RCT) compared bempedoic acid to placebo in patients at high-risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or prevalent CVD and statin intolerance for CV outcomes. The YELLOW III was a single-arm study that evaluated the effect of Evolocumab on coronary plaque characteristics in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD)...A Phase 2B RCT compared the efficacy of an oral PCSK9i, MK-0616, in reducing LDL-C as compared to a placebo. The late-breaking clinical science presented at the 2023 conference of the ACC paves the way for an evidence-based alternative to statin therapy and provides data on several common clinical scenarios encountered in daily practice."
