ABT-335 and rosuvastatin calcium

AstraZeneca · Phase 3 active Small molecule

ABT-335 and rosuvastatin calcium is a Fibrate and statin combination Small molecule drug developed by AstraZeneca. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Dyslipidemia with elevated triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol, Cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with mixed dyslipidemia. Also known as: ABT-335 / Rosuvastatin Combination (ABT-143), ABT-335, TRILIPIX.

ABT-335 (fenofibrate) reduces triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), while rosuvastatin calcium lowers LDL cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.

Mechanism of action

This combination targets dyslipidemia through dual mechanisms: ABT-335 activates PPARα to increase lipoprotein lipase activity and reduce VLDL production, thereby lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL. Rosuvastatin competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, effectively reducing LDL cholesterol. Together, they address multiple lipid abnormalities in patients at cardiovascular risk.
