title: Effects of ethyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-ethoxy-4-oxazole acetate (Y-9738) on the serum lipids of patients with hyperlipidemia and/or hypo-HDL-emia.
abstract: With the view of examining the serum lipid metabolism-improving action of a new compound, ethyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-ethoxy-4-oxazole acetate (Y-9738), 900 mg was administered to 47 patients with various diseases associated with hyperlipidemia and/or hypo-HDL (high density lipoprotein)-emia for successive 16 weeks. Serum HDL-cholesterol increased significantly 4 weeks after the administration (mean 11.8%, p less than 0.01). In the patients with hypo-HDL-emia who showed the initial level of 50 mg/dl or less, the degree of increase was more remarkable (mean 16,4%, p less than 0.01), and a significant increase was noted until 12 weeks later. Further, a similar change was noted in respect to serum HDL-phospholipid. The main apoprotein of HDL, apoprotein A (I + II) began to increase significantly 4 weeks after the institution of the administration. At the end of the trial, it increased by mean 31% (p less than 0.01). Y-9738 did not exert any significant effect on serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid, but it caused a reduction in so-called atherogenic indexes.
