Melinamide is an antilipidemic agent similar to gemfibrozil. It acts to lower elevated serum lipids by reducing the very low-density lipoprotein fraction rich in triglycerides. Serum cholesterol may be decreased, particularly in those patients whose cholesterol elevation is due to the presence of IDL as a result of Type III hyperlipoproteinemia. Melinamide caused a decrease of the enhanced intestinal ACAT activity in diabetic rats, but did not affect intestinal cholesterol esterase activity. Marked improvement of hypercholesterolaemia in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats occurred concomitantly with the drug treatment. These results suggest that intestinal ACAT activity is closely related to the serum cholesterol level in diabetic rats, and show that melinamide lowers intestinal ACAT activity. Melinamide (Artes®) was the only marketed (in Japan) ACAT inhibitor. 04 Aug 2004 was withdrawn for Hypercholesterolaemia in Japan.
