Background
Lomitapide (AEGR-733, BMS-201038) is an oral inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein [1].
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) plays an important role in lipoprotein assembly. The mutation of MTP can cause abetalipoproteinemia.
Lomitapide is a MTP inhibitor and used for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. In patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, lomitapide reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by more than 50% both as monotherapy and in combination with prescribed lipid-lowering therapies [1]. Lomitapide bound to and inhibited MTP within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and inhibited the synthesis of VLDL and chylomicrons, resulting in the reduction of circulating LDL-C concentrations. In human, lomitapide (50 mg) reduced apo B, LDL-C and total cholesterol concentrations in a dose dependent way. However, lomitapide caused significant gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances at the concentration of 100 mg [2].[1]. Rizzo M.
