The apoA-I mimetic peptide L-4F [(Ac-DWFKAFYDKVAEKFKEAF-NH2) synthesized from all
L-amino acids] has shown potential for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Here, we
demonstrate that LDL promotes association between L-4F and HDL. A 2-to 3-fold greater
association of L-4F with human HDL was observed in the presence of human LDL as
compared with HDL by itself. This association further increased when LDL was
supplemented with the oxidized lipid 15S-hydroxy-5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 13E-eicosatetraenoic acid …
