Evinacumab, sold under the brand name Evkeeza, is a monoclonal antibody medication for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).[1][2]
Evinacumab is a recombinant human IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeted against angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) and the first drug of its kind. The ANGPTL family of proteins serve a number of physiologic functions – including involvement in the regulation of lipid metabolism – which have made them desirable therapeutic targets in recent years.2 Loss-of-function mutations in ANGPTL3 have been noted to result in hypolipidemia and subsequent reductions in cardiovascular risk, whereas increases in function appear to be associated with cardiovascular risk, and it was these observations that provided a rationale for the development of a therapy targeted against ANGPTL3.3
In February 2021, evinacumab became the first-and-only inhibitor of ANGPTL3 to receive FDA approval after it was granted approval for the adjunctive treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) under the brand name “Evkeeza”.8 Evinacumab is novel in its mechanism of action compared with other lipid-lowering therapies and therefore provides a unique and synergistic therapeutic option in the treatment of HoFH.
Common side effects include nasopharyngitis (cold), influenza-like illness, dizziness, rhinorrhea (runny nose), and nausea. Serious hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions have occurred in the Evkeeza clinical trials.[2]
Evinacumab binds to the angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3).[2] ANGPTL3 slows the function of certain enzymes that break down fats in the body.[2] Evinacumab blocks ANGPTL3, allowing faster break down of fats that lead to high cholesterol.[2] Evinacumab was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2021.[2][3]

History
The effectiveness and safety of evinacumab were evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 24-week trial enrolling 65 participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).[2] In the trial, 43 participants received 15 mg/kg of evinacumab every four weeks and 22 participants received the placebo.[2] Participants were taking other lipid-lowering therapies as well.[2]
The primary measure of effectiveness was the percent change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) from the beginning of treatment to week 24.[2] At week 24, participants receiving evinacumab had an average 47% decrease in LDL-C while participants on the placebo had an average 2% increase.[2]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for evinacumab orphan drug, breakthrough therapy, and priority review designations.[2] The FDA granted approval of Evkeeza to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.[2]

Pemafibrate, also known as K-877 and (R)-K 13675, is a PPAR alpha agonist. (R)-K-13675 decreases the secretion of inflammatory markers without affecting cell proliferation or tube formation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) is a key regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism and has been implicated in inflammation. (R)-K-13675 was associated with the inhibition of inflammatory responses without affecting cell proliferation or angiogenesis, and subsequently may induce an anti-atherosclerotic effect.
Pemafibrate had been filed NDA by Kowa for the treatment of dyslipidemia in the Japan in 2015.
Pemafibrate is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of dyslipidemia in the US and EU.

Example 5 Synthesis of (R)-2-{3-[N-(benzoxazole-2-yl)-N-(3-(4-methoxyphenoxy)propyl)aminomethyl]phenyloxy}butyric acid (Compound (6))
-
Ethyl (R)-2-{3-[N-(benzoxazole-2-yl)-N-(3-(4-methoxyphenoxy)propyl)aminomethyl]phenyloxy}butylate (26.0 g) was dissolved in ethanol (200 mL), and 1.5N NaOH (50 mL) was added to the solution, followed by stirring for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with diethyl ether, and the formed aqueous layer was acidified with 4N HCl under ice cooling. The thus-treated aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed sequentially with water and saturated brine. The washed extract was dried over sodium sulfate anhydrate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=10/1), to thereby yield the target product (21.3 g, 87%, 98% ee).

Landmark Trial Entitled “PROMINENT” To Explore The Prevention Of Heart Disease In Diabetic Patients With High Triglycerides And Low HDL-C
Trial will evaluate if lowering triglycerides and increasing functional HDL with Kowa’s potent selective peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) modulator, K-877 (pemafibrate) can reduce the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in high-risk diabetic patients who are already taking statins
Jan 12, 2016, 09:00 ET from Kowa Research Institute, Inc.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Kowa Research Institute, Inc., announced plans to conduct an international, multi-center cardiovascular outcomes trial evaluating triglyceride reduction and increasing functional HDL with K-877 (pemafibrate), in high-risk diabetic patients with high triglyceride and low HDL-C levels who are already taking statins. K-877 is a highly potent and selective peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) modulator (SPPARMalpha), a promising category of metabolic therapy.
Paul Ridker, MD, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention (CCVDP) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and Aruna Pradhan, MD, a cardiologist at BWH, will be co-Principal Investigators of the planned trial.
“This trial is unprecedented,” said Gary Gordon, MD, President, Kowa Research Institute, Inc. “Statins are effective in lowering cardiovascular risk among patients with high cholesterol, but residual risk remains, particularly in patients with high triglyceride levels and low HDL-C levels. Kowa will be the first company to run a major, randomized clinical trial investigating whether modulating PPAR-alpha to lower triglycerides and increase functional HDL in diabetic patients can reduce cardiovascular risk when added to statin therapy.”
Evidence supports a role for triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and low HDL-C as important contributors to atherosclerosis. Kowa specifically set out to create the most potent and selective PPAR-alpha modulator ever developed, and succeeded with K-877, which is at least 1,000 times as potent and selective as other drugs. Kowa has completed clinical development of K-877 for hyperlipidemia in Japan, and has submitted it to the PMDA for approval as a new drug. Kowa’s clinical studies have shown K-877 significantly reduces triglycerides, ApoC3, and remnant cholesterol and increases functional HDL and FGF21.
The Pemafibrate to Reduce cardiovascular OutcoMes by reducing triglycerides IN diabetic patiENTs (PROMINENT) Phase 3 K-877 cardiovascular outcomes trial will recruit an estimated 10,000 high-risk diabetic patients worldwide. All participants will receive aggressive, standard of care management of cardiovascular risk factors including treatment with high-intensity statins. In addition, patients will receive either K-877 or placebo. The trial will include diabetic patients with and without established cardiovascular disease and will test whether K-877 reduces the occurrence of heart attacks, hospitalizations for unstable angina requiring unplanned revascularization, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes.
“Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide,” said Dr. Gordon. “Reducing residual cardiovascular risk with K-877 would be valuable to physicians managing patients’ cardiovascular disease.”

Zydus-Cadila is developing ZYH-7, a PPAR alpha modulator for the potential treatment of dyslipidemia
Zydus-Cadila is developing ZYH-7, a PPAR alpha modulator for the potential treatment of dyslipidemia .
By January 2012, phase II trials had begun ; in January 2014, the drug was still listed as being in phase II development
By January 2012 phase II trials had begun for Diabetes type 2 Lipoprotein disorders
Obesity
In August 2007, an IND was filed , and by March 2008, a phase I trial was underway ; by April 2011, the trial had been completed
Zydus Cadila has filed an Investigational New Drug (NID) application for seeking DCGI’s permission for conducting clinical trials for its New Molecular Entity (NME) ZYH7. |
![]() |
According to a company release, it claims that ZYH7 is a novel drug candidate for treating dyslipidemia and metabolic disorders. The company inform that ZYH7 had been conceptualised and developed by its scientists from Zydus Research Centre. |
The company has its in-house research centre and it had recently concluded pre-clinical studies on ZYH7, which have reported interesting and encouraging finding which indicate a novel molecule to treat dyslipidemia and associated metabolic disorders. |
Commenting on the new development, Pankaj Patel, chairman and managing director, Zydus Cadila said, “We have been building a promising pipeline of new molecular entities at the Zydus Research Centre and ZYH7 is an important step in this direction”. |
Starting with its first IND filing in 2005, Zydus today has four INDs in various stages of clinical trials. NME – ZYH1 for treating dyslipidemia and ZYI1 for treating pain and inflammation are undergoing Phase II trials. ZYH2 for treating diabetes and the novel CB-1 antagonist, ZYO1 for treating obesity, are undergoing Phase I trials. |
Diabetes, a worldwide health problem, affects more than 150 million people, a number expected to double to 300 million by 2025. People with diabetes are at especially high risk for dyslipidemia, particularly high triglyceride levels and low HDL levels. |
Dyslipidemia is also a key independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the largest therapeutic segment in the world pharmaceutical market. |
With an increasing correlation between several endocrine and metabolic disorders, there has been considerable emphasis in recent times on metabolic syndrome. The metabolic components of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, are linked in numerous ways with each having an impact on the other. |
For instance, it is also well known that patients with Type 2 diabetes have a two to four-fold excess risk of coronary heart disease and that these patients very often have increased cardiovascular risk factors even before the onset of their diabetes. |
Dyslipidemia is an abnormal amount of lipids (e.g. cholesterol and/or fat) in the blood. In developed countries, most dyslipidemias are hyperlipidemias; that is, an elevation of lipids in the blood. This is often due to diet and lifestyle. Prolonged elevation of insulin levels can also lead to dyslipidemia. Likewise, increased levels of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) may cause dyslipidemia.

Classification
Physicians and basic researchers classify dyslipidemias in two distinct ways:
- Phenotype, or the presentation in the body (including the specific type of lipid that is increased)
- Etiology, or the reason for the condition (genetic, or secondary to another condition). This classification can be problematic, because most conditions involve the intersection of genetics and lifestyle issues. However, there are a few well-defined genetic conditions that are usually easy to identify.
