Abstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) is pathologically important basis of many kinds of coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD).It can be substantially protected by raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL).In view of mechanism, drugs for raising HDL include:cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors, peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor agonists, liver X-activated receptor agonists, farnesoid X receptor antagonists or agonists, lipoprotein lipase activators, niacin, and phenytoin and lecin:cholesterol acyltransferase activators, etc.This review aimed to the progress of drugs for regulating highdensity lipoprotein and their mechanism, in view of clinical and preclinical aspects.

Key words: high-density lipoprotein(HDL), atherosclerosis(AS), coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD), apolipoprotein, cholesterol ester transfer protein(CETP), peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), lipoprotein lipase(LPL) 9129
