Hachuła M, Basiak M, Kosowski M, Okopień B. Effect of GLP-1RA Treatment on Adhesion Molecules and Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in Diabetic Patients with Atherosclerosis. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:690. [PMID: 38929672 PMCID: PMC11204864 DOI: 10.3390/life14060690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a prominent cause of global mortality, primarily driven by atherosclerosis. Diabetes mellitus, as a modifiable risk factor, significantly contributes to atherogenesis. Monocyte recruitment to the intima is a critical step in atherosclerotic plaque formation, involving chemokines and adhesion molecules such as selectins, ICAM-1, and MCP-1. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a promising group of drugs for reducing cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients, prompting investigation into their mechanisms of action. This interventional study enrolled 50 diabetes patients with atherosclerotic plaque, administering GLP-1RA for 180 days. Serum concentrations of MCP-1, ICAM-1, and L-selectin were measured before and after treatment. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were also assessed. GLP-1RA treatment resulted in significant improvements in anthropometric parameters, glycemic control, blood pressure, and biochemical markers of liver steatosis. Biomarker laboratory analysis revealed higher baseline levels of MCP-1, ICAM-1, and L-selectin in diabetic patients with atherosclerotic plaque compared to healthy controls. Following treatment, MCP-1 and L-selectin levels decreased significantly (p < 0.001), while ICAM-1 levels increased (p < 0.001). GLP-1RA treatment in diabetic patients with atherosclerotic plaque leads to favorable changes in serum molecule levels associated with monocyte recruitment to the endothelium. The observed reduction in MCP-1 and L-selectin suggests a potential mechanism underlying GLP-1RA-mediated cardiovascular risk reduction. Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms and clinical implications of these findings in diabetic patients with atherosclerosis.

Classical and Novel Lipid-Lowering Therapies for Diabetic Patients with Established Coronary Artery Disease or High Risk of Coronary Artery Disease-A Narrative Clinical Review. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:568. [PMID: 38794138 PMCID: PMC11124492 DOI: 10.3390/ph17050568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetic atherosclerosis is a complex process that is characterized by diffuse and unstable lesions increasing 2-4-fold the risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Diabetic dyslipidemia has a predominant role in coronary artery disease (CAD) and has been the target of classical and emerging pharmaceutical agents with established or promising CV benefits. The aim of the present narrative review was to summarize the effects of classical and novel lipid-lowering pharmaceutical agents on lipid profile and CV outcomes in diabetic patients with established CAD or high risk of CAD. Statins remain the first-line treatment for all diabetic patients since they considerably ameliorate lipid parameters and non-lipid CV risk factors, leading to reduced CV morbidity and mortality. Complementary to statins, ezetimibe exerts lipid-lowering properties with modest but significant reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and CV mortality. PCSK9 inhibitors considerably reduce LDL-C levels and lower MACEs in diabetic patients. On the other hand, fibrates may confer a very modest decline in MACE incidence, while the CV impact of omega-3 fatty acids is promising but remains questionable. Bempedoic acid and inclisiran have a potential therapeutic role in the management of diabetic dyslipidemia, but this is still not adequately documented. Given the heightened CV risk among individuals with diabetes, more decisive results would be of great importance in the utility of all these drugs.

Abstract
Lipid monitoring plays a crucial role in biomedical research, particularly in the areas of cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders and nutrition. However, direct and highly sensitive detection of lipids poses significant challenges due to the interference of high SERS background noise in lipid samples. In this study, we present a SERS platform for the quantitative analysis of lipids. By harnessing the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) effect of nanostructured grooves and leveraging deuterium oxide, a remarkable enhancement of in-situ Raman signals originating from cholesterol is achieved. This approach yielded an impressive average enhancement factor of 7.3 × 105 and a detection limit of 1.9 × 10-4 mg/mL, highlighting the exceptional sensitivity and precision of our method. We have obtained high quality, in-situ SERS signals for six distinct lipid molecules. Rapid identification of lipid samples in mixed systems has been achieved through the combination of characteristic peak analysis and PCA-LDA, including the detection of SERS signals from lipids in milk. Notably, univariate monitoring of in-situ cholesterol in human serum was successfully achieved for the first time using deuterium water as an internal standard. In addition, silver substrate demonstrated outstanding reproducibility, maintaining consistent SERS activity even after more than 10 repetitions. Therefore, this platform offers the distinct advantages of high sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness for lipid detection. These findings enable dietary management and blood lipid monitoring, and therefore hold crucial implications for the early prevention of lipid-related disorders and diseases.

Novel Antidiabetic Agents and Their Effects on Lipid Profile: A Single Shot for Several Cardiovascular Targets. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10164. [PMID: 37373310 PMCID: PMC10299555 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241210164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) represents one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Hyperglycemia and glycemic variability are not the only determinant of the increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in diabetic patients, as a frequent metabolic disorder associated with DM is dyslipidemia, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and a shift towards small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This pathological alteration, also called diabetic dyslipidemia, represents a relevant factor which could promotes atherosclerosis and subsequently an increased CV morbidity and mortality. Recently, the introduction of novel antidiabetic agents, such as sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), has been associated with a significant improvement in CV outcomes. Beyond their known action on glycemia, their positive effects on the CV system also seems to be related to an ameliorated lipidic profile. In this context, this narrative review summarizes the current knowledge regarding these novel anti-diabetic drugs and their effects on diabetic dyslipidemia, which could explain the provided global benefit to the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Abnormal lipid metabolism is known to increases the risk for metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). The relationship between baseline ratio of triglyceride to HDL cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) and T2DM in Japanese adults was investigated in this study. Our secondary analysis included 8419 male and 7034 female Japanese subjects who were free of diabetes at baseline. The correlation between baseline TG/HDL-C and T2DM was analyzed by a proportional risk regression model, the nonlinear correlation between baseline TG/HDL-C and T2DM was analyzed by a generalized additive model (GAM), and the threshold effect analysis was performed by a segmented regression model. We conducted subgroup analyses in different populations. During the median 5.39 years follow-up, 373 participants, 286 males and 87 females, developed diabetes mellitus. After full adjustment for confounders, the baseline TG/HDL-C ratio positively correlated with the risk of diabetes (hazard ratio 1.19, 95% confidence interval 1.09-1.3), and smoothed curve fitting and two-stage linear regression analysis revealed a J-shaped relationship between baseline TG/HDL-C and T2DM. The inflection point for baseline TG/HDL-C was 0.35. baseline TG/HDL-C > 0.35 was positively associated with the development of T2DM (hazard ratio 1.2, 95% confidence interval 1.10-1.31). Subgroup analysis showed no significant differences in the effect between TG/HDL-C and T2DM in different populations. A J-shaped relationship was observed between baseline TG/HDL-C and T2DM risk in the Japanese population. When TG/HDL-C was higher than 0.35, there was a positive relationship between baseline TG/HDL-C and the incidence of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a widespread endocrine disorder globally. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, ellagic acid has the potential to improve the metabolic effects of chronic non-communicable diseases. This systematic review summarizes current evidence about the potential effects of ellagic acid on metabolic variables in diabetes mellitus. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, ProQuest and Google Scholar from inception until March 2022. All animal studies and clinical trials were eligible for inclusion. Studies using in vitro models or published in a non-English language were excluded. Of 1320 articles, 23 were selected for assessment, including 21 animal studies and two randomized controlled trial studies. Following ellagic acid administration, findings reported improvement in FBS, HbA1c, insulin (20, 8 and 12 studies, respectively), TG, TC, HDL-C (13, 10 and 5 studies, respectively), MDA, GSH, CAT, SOD (11, 6, 3 and 4 studies, respectively), and TNF-α and IL-6 (6 and 3 studies, respectively). In conclusion, ellagic acid may improve glycaemic indicators, dyslipidaemia, oxidative stress and inflammation in diabetes mellitus. However, further clinical trials are needed to explore the mechanisms more precisely and to observe the applied consequences.

Abstract
Background We aim to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis encompassing all studies to assess the efficacy of Vascepa in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in preventing or treating existing coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Digital databases were queried. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated for the following outcomes: composite outcome, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality. Results A total of 4 randomized control trials (33,092 patients; Vascepa n = 16586; Placebo n = 16506) were included in our analysis. The overall mean age was 64.3 years old (Vascepa = 64.3 years; Placebo = 64.3 years). The sample was 61.5% male (Vascepa = 60.8%; Placebo = 62.1%). In patients with DM, Vascepa was found to have no significant effect on the primary composite outcome (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.91-1.04, p > 0.05), all-cause mortality (OR 0.96, 95%CI 0.90-1.03, p > 0.05), and cardiovascular mortality (OR 0.90, 95%CI 0.74-1.10, p > 0.05). Subgroup analysis by Vascepa type and treatment type was similarly non-significant. Conclusion Our study concluded that Vascepa did not affect cardiovascular outcomes in patients with DM.

Abstract
Coronary collateralization is substantially impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes and occlusive coronary artery disease, which leads to aggravated myocardial ischemia and a more dismal prognosis. In a diabetic setting, altered serum lipid profiles and profound glycoxidative modification of lipoprotein particles induce endothelial dysfunction, blunt endothelial progenitor cell response, and severely hamper growth and maturation of collateral vessels. The impact of dyslipidemia and lipid-lowering treatments on coronary collateral formation has become a topic of heightened interest. In this review, we summarized the association of triglyceride-based integrative indexes, hypercholesterolemia, increased Lp(a) with its glycoxidative modification, as well as quantity and quality abnormalities of high-density lipoprotein with impaired collateral formation. We also analyzed the influence of innovative lipid-modifying strategies on coronary collateral development. Therefore, clinical management of diabetic dyslipidemia should take into account of its effect on coronary collateralization in patients with occlusive coronary artery disease.

Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2022; 36:731-741. [PMID: 35106814 DOI: 10.1111/fcp.12765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Diabetic dyslipidemia is a significant contributor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study aimed at comparing the effect of dapagliflozin, liraglutide, and atorvastatin alone or their combinations on lipids and inflammatory markers and their vascular impact in T2D rats. There were 56 male albino rats included in the study and divided into two main groups. Group A (8 rats) served as normal control. Group B (48 rats) were streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. Subgroups (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, and B-6) received (no medications, dapagliflozin, liraglutide, atorvastatin, dapagliflozin + atorvastatin, and liraglutide + atorvastatin), respectively. Urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c), fasting serum glucose (FSG), serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), TGs, lipoprotein(a) Lp (a), serum thyrotropin (TSH), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), were assessed. Qualitative and quantitative histological examination of kidneys focused on renal corpuscles. Dapagliflozin improved the studied parameters but with statistically insignificant increase in LDL-C, Lp (a) and significant increase in UACR. Atorvastatin improved the studied parameters but with statistically insignificant increase in FSG and HbA1C. Liraglutide and the combination groups significantly improved all studied parameters. Histologically, liraglutide and atorvastatin produced therapeutic effect, while dapagliflozin depicted nephrotoxic effect. Combination groups resulted in better effects with normalization of most of renal corpuscles. There were positive correlations between LDL-C and hs-CRP, AGEs, TSH and mesangial expansion. Combination of atorvastatin with liraglutide can improve its vasculoprotective effect. Moreover, combination of atorvastatin with dapagliflozin can ameliorate its possible nephrotoxic effect.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the association of 2,3-dihydroxypropyl mercapturic acid (DHPMA), a urinary biomarker of environmental and dietary exposure to 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol and glycidol, with prevalent MetS in a Chinese middle-aged and elderly population. The urinary DHPMA concentrations were determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis and further calibrated by the urinary creatinine content. MetS cases were defined by the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for Asian-Americans of National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP/ATPIII). Multivariate-adjusted modified Poisson regression models were used to analyze the associations between the urinary DHPMA concentrations and MetS prevalence. Of the 1613 participants aged 45-75 years, we documented 552 (34.2%) MetS cases. After adjustment for potential risk factors, the relative risks (95% confidence intervals) of MetS prevalence across the increasing quartiles of DHPMA concentrations were 1.14 (0.93-1.39), 1.29 (1.06-1.56), and 1.50 (1.25-1.80), respectively, compared with the lowest quartile. We also observed strong positive association between urinary DHPMA concentrations and hypertriglyceridemia prevalence (P < 0.001 for trend). These positive associations remained unchanged in the subgroups stratified by general demographic, dietary and behavioral risk factors. These results suggested that urinary DHPMA was associated with higher prevalence of MetS among Chinese elderly people.

Abstract
Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are known to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular and metabolic health. However, whether different sources of n-3 PUFA, for instance fatty fish vs vegetable oils, could elicit different effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, remains to be determined. Herein we examine recent findings showing that while a plant-based n-3 PUFA supplementation for six months can reduce fasting blood glucose, marine-based n-3 PUFA can instead reduce serum levels of triglycerides. We also discuss the potential molecular mechanisms that could underlie these different effects on the regulation of glycolipid metabolism.

Abstract
Background Compared to individuals without type 2 diabetes mellitus, the relative increase in cardiovascular mortality is much higher in women than in men in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods We evaluated data from 7443 individuals (3792 women, 50.9%), aged 20 to 81 years, from two independent population-based investigations, SHIP-0 and MONICA/KORA S3. We analyzed the longitudinal sex-specific associations of lipoprotein(a) with cardiovascular mortality in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus using Cox regression. Results During a median follow-up of 20.5 years (136,802 person-years), 657 participants (404 men and 253 women) died of cardiovascular causes. Among individuals without type 2 diabetes mellitus, men had a significantly higher risk for cardiovascular mortality compared to women in unadjusted model and after adjustment. On the other hand, in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the risk for cardiovascular mortality was not different between men and women in the unadjusted model and after adjustment for age, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, fasting status and study sample (SHIP-0, MONICA/KORA S3). Further adjustment for lipoprotein(a) concentrations had no impact on the hazard ratio (HR) for cardiovascular mortality comparing men versus women in individuals without type 2 diabetes mellitus [HR: 1.94; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.63 to 2.32; p < 0.001]. In individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, however, further adjustment for lipoprotein(a) led to an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality in men and a decreased risk in women resulting in a statistically significant difference between men and women (HR: 1.53; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.24; p = 0.029). Conclusions Women are described to have a stronger relative increase in cardiovascular mortality than men when comparing individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Higher lipoprotein(a) concentrations in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus might partially explain this finding.

Abstract
Ezetimibe is a well-known drug that lowers blood cholesterol levels by reducing its absorption in the small intestine when joining to Niemann-Pick C1-like protein (NPC1L1). A ligand-based study on ezetimibe analogues is reported, together with one-hit synthesis, highlighted in the study. A convenient asymmetric synthesis of (2S,3S)-N-α-(R)-methylbenzyl-3-methoxycarbonylethyl-4-methoxyphenyl β-lactam is described starting from Baylis-Hillman adducts. The route involves a domino process: allylic acetate rearrangement, stereoselective Ireland-Claisen rearrangement and asymmetric Michael addition, which provides a δ-amino acid derivative with full stereochemical control. A subsequent inversion of ester and acid functionality paves the way to the lactam core after monodebenzylation and lactam formation. It also shows interesting results when it comes to a pharmacophore study based on ezetimibe as the main ligand in lowering blood cholesterol levels, revealing which substituents on the azetidine-2-one ring are more similar to the ezetimibe skeleton and will more likely bind to NPC1L1 than ezetimibe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Epidemiological studies show that obese adolescents are candidates to suffer cardiovascular pathologies in adulthood. In order to detect subfractions with a diagnostic value for future cardiovascular disorders, we analyzed the complete lipoprotein profile of severely obese adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-eight obese adolescents free from comorbidities were admitted into a weight reduction program. Anthropometric parameters were monitored. The circulating lipoproteins and glycemia were measured at the beginning and at the end of the study by conventional blood analysis as well as by using lipoprotein electrophoresis. Twenty-one puberty-matched normal-weight adolescents were recruited as controls. After 4 months, participants improved anthropometric parameters. Blood analysis indicated that circulating lipoproteins were in the healthy range during intervention. Nevertheless, results obtained from lipoprotein electrophoresis showed a significant increase in the large high-density lipoprotein subfraction in the obese population at the end of intervention, but significantly lower than normal-weight counterparts. In addition, intermediate- and low-density lipoprotein subfractions were in the healthy range in controls and in obese adolescents during intervention. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, it seems that the obese adolescents with no comorbidities do not develop a clear dyslipidemia. However, low values of large high-density lipoprotein subfractions could be considered as candidate predictors to develop cardiovascular disease in the future. For this reason, diet and exercise are key tools to fight against this pathology. REGISTRATION NUMBER FOR CLINICAL TRIALS ISRCTN99414527.

Use of Network Pharmacology to Explore the Mechanism of Gegen ( Puerariae lobatae Radix) in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Associated with Hyperlipidemia. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:6633402. [PMID: 33953784 PMCID: PMC8068526 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6633402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Rapid increases in metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hyperlipidemia, are becoming a substantial challenge to worldwide public health. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and abundant experience in the treatment of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and Puerariae lobatae Radix (known as Gegen in Chinese) is one of the most prevalent Chinese herbs applied to treat these diseases. The underlying mechanism by which Gegen simultaneously treats diabetes and hyperlipidemia, however, has not been clearly elucidated to date. Therefore, we systematically explored the potential mechanism of Gegen in the treatment of T2DM complicated with hyperlipidemia based on network pharmacology. We screened the potential targets of Gegen, T2DM, and hyperlipidemia in several online databases. Then, the hub targets were analyzed by performing protein-protein interaction, Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment assays, and finally, the complicated connections among compounds, targets, and pathways were visualized in Cytoscape. We found that isoflavones, including daidzein, genistein, and puerarin, as well as β-sitosterol, are the key active ingredients of Gegen responsible for its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemia effects, which mainly target AKR1B1, EGFR, ESR, TNF, NOS3, MAPK3, PPAR, CYP19A1, INS, IL6, and SORD and multiple pathways, such as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway; the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, fluid shear stress, and atherosclerosis; the PPAR signaling pathway; insulin resistance; the HIF-1 signaling pathway; the TNF signaling pathway; and others. These active ingredients also target multiple biological processes, including the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. In conclusion, Gegen is a promising therapeutic phytomedicine for T2DM with hyperlipidemia that targets multiple proteins, biological processes, and pathways.

Abstract
As an ambiguous member of vascular endothelial growth factor family, VEGF-B has long been poorly understood in its function. Recent researches showed VEGF-B isoforms exerted their metabolic effect through indirectly activating the VEGF-A/VEGFR2 pathway. Here, we report the lipid-lowing effect of VEGF-B via VEGFR1. We investigated the effect of VEGF-B on lipid metabolism in vivo and in vitro approaches. Treatment of mice with VEGF-B recombinant protein repressed HFD-induced body weight gain. This treatment also alleviated obesity associated hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease. In the muscle and liver of VEGF-B-treated HFD mice were observed increased protein expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) and the phosphorylation of ACC and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This effect was confirmed in HepG2 cells incubated with VEFG-B in which the increased AMPK activation and CPT-1 expression occurs due to activation of Calcium/calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase β (CaMKKβ) by VEFG-B. VEGF-B increased expression of key genes responsible for lipid oxidation while reducing those for fatty acid synthesis in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the selective inhibitor of VEGFR1 blocked the lipid clearance effect of VEGF-B in HepG2. Our study unraveled unknown role of VEGF-B/VEGFR1 signaling in regulating lipid metabolism. Furthermore, our findings indicate that VEGF-B may have beneficial effects for the treatment of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Background Bempedoic acid is an oral, once-daily, first-in-class drug being developed for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. However, evidence of bempedoic acid use for the prevention of cardiovascular events and diabetes is lacking. Thus, we aim to evaluate the benefit and safety of bempedoic acid use for the prevention of cardiovascular events and diabetes. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials with no language restriction from inception until March 3, 2020. Pairs of reviewers independently identified randomized controlled trials comparing the use of bempedoic acid with placebo or no treatment for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in statin-intolerant patients with hypercholesterolemia. The primary outcomes were major adverse cardiac events, and percent change in LDL-C. Results We identified 11 trials including a total of 4391 participants. Bempedoic acid use was associated with a reduction in composite cardiovascular outcome (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.56–0.99; I2 = 0%). Bempedoic acid reduced LDL-C levels (MD − 22.91, 95% CI − 27.35 to − 18.47; I2 = 99%), and similarly reduced CRP levels (MD -24.70, 95% CI − 32.10 to − 17.30; I2 = 53%). Bempedoic acid was associated with a reduction in rates of new-onset or worsening diabetes (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.44–0.96; I2 = 23%). Conclusions Bempedoic acid in patients with hypercholesterolemia was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events and diabetes.
