The present invention relates to compounds of Table 1, which are encompassed by Formula I and/or Formula II, Ill, IV, V, or VI, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or compositions thereof. Compounds of Table 1 are PCSK9 interacting small molecules that modulate PCSK9 activity and significantly increase low density lipoprotein receptor expression and activity, lower total circulating cholesterol and are useful for treating and delaying the onset of diseases that are associated with elevated cholesterol.

Methods of treating elevated plasma cholesterol

The present invention relates to compounds of Formula I, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or formulations thereof. Compounds of Formula I increase significantly low density lipoprotein receptor and are useful for preventing and treating of elevated cholesterol.

The present invention relates to PCSK9 inhibitors and methods of use thereof. Specifically, the invention relates to PCSK9 cell-based assay, PCSK9 inhibiting polypeptides and derivatives thereof. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a PCSK9 inhibitor polypeptide together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and method for treating cardiovascular disorders, hyperlipidemia, inflammatory diseases or inflammatory response to infection.

PCSK9 inhibitory polypolypeptides and methods of use

A method for identifying a compound for preventing or treating a LDLR-associated disease, a VLDLR-associated disease or an ApoER2-associated disease, said method comprising determining whether: a) a level of expression of Annexin A2 nucleic acid or encoded polypeptide; b) a level of Annexin A2 activity; or c) a combination of a) and b), is increased in the presence of a test compound relative to in the absence of said test compound, wherein said increase is indicative that said test compound can be used for preventing or treating a LDLR-associated disease, a VLDLR-associated disease, an ApoER2-associated disease.
