In  vitro metabolism of fenofibric acid by carbonyl reducing enzymes
Publication date: 25 October 2016 Source:Chemico-Biological Interactions, Volume 258 Author(s): Petra Malátková, Matthildi Kanavi, Milan Nobilis, Vladimír Wsól Fenofibric acid is a hypolipidemic drug that is used as an active ingredient per se or is administered in the form of fenofibrate that releases fenofibric acid after absorption. The metabolism of fenofibric acid is mediated primarily by glucuronidation. However, the other part of fenofibric acid is excreted as reduced fenofibric acid. Enzymes responsible for the formation of reduced fenofibric acid as well as their subcellular localization have remained un...

Absolute oral bioavailability of fenofibric acid and choline fenofibrate in rats determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.
Abstract Choline fenofibrate is the choline salt of fenofibric acid, which releasing free fenofibric acid in the gastrointestinal tract. To estimate the absolute oral bioavailability of fenofibric acid and choline fenofibrate, a novel and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method with liquid-liquid extraction procedure was developed for the determination of fenofibric acid in rat plasma. The separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 µm) containing 2mM ammonium acetate-methanol with a gradient elution program. Validations of this method including specificity, sensitivity (limit of...

In vitro metabolism of fenofibric acid by carbonyl reducing enzymes.
Abstract Fenofibric acid is a hypolipidemic drug that is used as an active ingredient per se or is administered in the form of fenofibrate that releases fenofibric acid after absorption. The metabolism of fenofibric acid is mediated primarily by glucuronidation. However, the other part of fenofibric acid is excreted as reduced fenofibric acid. Enzymes responsible for the formation of reduced fenofibric acid as well as their subcellular localization have remained unknown until now. We have found that the predominant site of fenofibric acid reduction is the human liver cytosol, whereas liver microsomes reduc...

Fenofibrate improves high-fat diet-induced and palmitate-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation in skeletal muscle
Publication date: Available online 11 June 2016 Source:Life Sciences Author(s): Fang Dai, Tian Jiang, Ying-ying Bao, Guan-jun Chen, Li Chen, Qiu Zhang, Yun-xia Lu Aims Fenofibrate (FF) is commonly used clinically as a lipid-lowering drug, but whether it participates in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and decreases inflammation in skeletal muscle is still unknown. The aim of this study is to determine whether FF treatment reduces insulin resistance (IR) by alleviating ER stress and downstream inflammation in skeletal muscle tissues and cells. Main methods Female SD rats were randomly divided into group...

Effect of magnesium carbonate on the solubility, dissolution and oral bioavailability of fenofibric acid powder as an alkalising solubilizer.
Abstract To investigate the possibility of developing a novel oral pharmaceutical product using fenofibric acid instead of choline fenofibrate, the powder properties, solubility, dissolution and pharmacokinetics in rats of fenofibrate, choline fenofibrate and fenofibric acid were compared. Furthermore, the effect of magnesium carbonate, an alkalising agent on the solubility, dissolution and oral bioavailability of fenofibric acid was assessed, a mixture of fenofibric acid and magnesium carbonate being prepared by simple blending at a weight ratio of 2/1. The three fenofibrate derivatives showed different p...

Lack of an Effect of Ritonavir Alone and Lopinavir‐Ritonavir on the Pharmacokinetics of Fenofibric Acid in Healthy Volunteers
ConclusionIn contrast to a significant interaction between gemfibrozil and lopinavir‐ritonavir, neither lopinavir‐ritonavir nor ritonavir alone altered the pharmacokinetics of fenofibric acid in healthy volunteers. These data suggest that fenofibrate remains an important option in human immunodeficiency virus–infected patients receiving common ritonavir‐boosted therapy.

A review on the rationale and clinical use of concomitant rosuvastatin and fenofibrate/fenofibric acid therapy.
Authors: Strain JD, Farver DK, Clem JR Abstract Mixed dyslipidemia, characterized by a lipid triad of elevated triglycerides (TG), elevated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), is a common and frequently difficult to manage condition. The use of combination medications is often needed to effectively treat the lipid triad. The co-administration of statins and fibrates may provide the desired endpoints but safety issues such as toxicity to the muscles, liver and kidneys are a concern. Given the potency of rosuvastatin to lower LDL-C and fenofib...

Nonstatin Therapies for Management of Dyslipidemia: A Review.
Abstract PURPOSE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Recently published cholesterol treatment guidelines emphasize the use of statins as the preferred treatment strategy for both primary and secondary prevention of CVD. However, the optimal treatment strategy for patients who cannot tolerate statin therapy or those who need additional lipid-lowering therapy is unclear in light of recent evidence that demonstrates a lack of improved cardiovascular outcomes with combination therapy. The purpose of this review is to summarize and interpret eviden...
