摘要
Lowering cholesterol associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is an efficient strategy to prevent cardiovascular diseases or attenuate their progression and damage. Statins have been successfully used for this purpose, but many patients still need alternative or additional, more aggressive therapy. Pro protein convertose subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition may be the solution. The hypercholesterolemic effect of PCSK9 is due to its interaction with the LDL receptor (LDLR). Its absence leads to lower LDL cholesterol and reduced cardiovascular risk. However, the interaction of PCSK9 with other lipoprotein receptors and its presence in organs such as the brain raise concerns about its inhibitory effects. Several strategies have been developed to inhibit PCSK9 synthesis or its binding to the LDLR, and it is now being evaluated in clinical trials. Preliminary results are promising.
