Biological activities

Fenofibrate is a peroxisome proliferator activated receptorα(PPARα) activator. Fenofibrate is useful in prevention and treatment of myocardial disease associated with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.[1] Fenofibrate has a great affinity at PPARα receptor with an EC50 of 10 µM. [2] Fenofibrate inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells. [3] Fenofibrate suppresses endothelial cell proliferation and VEGF production, increases TSP-1 and endostatin, and inhibits corneal neovascularization. [4] Fenofibrate lowers serum triglycerides and decreases body weight gain in fatty Zucker rats. [1]In ob/ob mice, fenofibrate prevents the rosiglitazone-induced weight gain. [2] Furthermore, fenofibrate treatment decreases total cholesterol and esterified cholesterol contents and reduces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA levels in the descending aortas of apoE-deficient mice. In apoE-deficient mice expressing a human apoA-I transgene, fenofibrate increases human apoA-I plasma and hepatic mRNA levels without affecting plasma lipid levels. [5] Fenofibrate reduces plasma cholesteryl ester transfer from HDL to VLDL and normalizes the atherogenic, dense LDL profile in combined hyperlipidemia. [6] Fenofibrate prevents development of hypertension, and improves myocardial inflammation and collagen deposition in Ang II-infused rats. [7]

Protocols

Fenofibrate is dissolved in DMSO solution to a maximum of 1% v/v DMSO. [3]
