Clofibric acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Clofibric acid (Chlorofibrinic acid) is an orally active PPARα agonist. Clofibric acid inhibits the fimbriation of Escherichia coli. Clofibric acid increases SOD activity. Clofibric acid lowers blood lipids and prevents experimental pyelonephritis. Clofibric acid has anticancer activity against ovarian cancer. Clofibric acid is also a herbicide. Clofibric acid is used in ovarian cancer, liver cancer, obesity, and urinary tract infection research.

Clofibric acid (0-500 μM; 72 h) inhibits the proliferation of OVCAR-3 and DISS cells dose-dependently[1].
Clofibric acid (0.25-0.75 mM; 5 days) increases total SOD and MnSOD activities, as well as the enzyme apoprotein and MnSOD mRNA levels in HepG2 cells[2].
Clofibric acid (10-1000 μM; 72 h after 24-h pre-incubation) increases peroxisomal β-oxidation, the relative number of peroxisomes and the mean size of peroxisomes in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes[3].
Clofibric acid (0.1-5 mM) decreases the growth rate of uropathogenic E. coli T149 in urine[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Clofibric acid (200 mg/kg body weight; s.c.; daily; from 6-36 weeks of age) significantly lowers fasted serum cholesterol levels in obese Zucker rats, and has various effects on the weights and lipid/cholesterol levels of different organs[4].
Clofibric acid (29 mg/kg bw; p.o.; daily) abolishes renal infection in mice with ascending urinary tract infection caused by E. coli and does not produce adverse effects on the renal parenchyma[5].
Clofibric acid (100 mg/kg; i.p.; single) attenuates Carbon tetrachloride (HY-Y0298)-induced necrosis in rats[6].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.65 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.65 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
