Product Description

Etofibrate, the ethandiol-1,2 diester of the nicotinic and clofibric acid, is a combination of conjugated clofibrate and niacin that is used to treat hyperlipemia. Etofibrate treatment heightens the cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the total carnitine concentration in the liver of rats, whereas it reduces triacylglycerol and cholesterol concentrations. Etofibrate decreases plasma levels of cholesterol, triacylglycerols, free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol, as well as the total and unesterified cholesterol concentrations, in liver microsomes of rats.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Etofibrate treatment heightens the cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the total carnitine concentration in the liver of rats, whereas it reduces triacylglycerol and cholesterol concentrations. Etofibrate decreases plasma levels of cholesterol, triacylglycerols, free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol, as well as the total and unesterified cholesterol concentrations, in liver microsomes of rats. Etofibrate increases the activity of liver cytosolic glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase in the rats, whereas it decreases the activity of both microsomal HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and does not affect acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). Etofibrate decreases the availability of lipolytic products in the liver by acting on their release from adipose tissue and on their intrinsic hepatic metabolism. Etofibrate stimulates the rate of fatty acid re-esterification when incubations are done under basal conditions in epididymal fat pad pieces from fed rats.

ln Vivo
The ethandiol-1,2 diester of nicotinic and clofibric acids is called etofibrate. Both in humans and animals, etofibrate has demonstrated to be a highly effective hypolipidemic medication. Following a 10-day Etofibrate treatment period, the rats' body weight is comparable to that of the control group, but their liver weight has dramatically increased while their levels of triacylglycerol and plasma cholesterol have dropped. When the enterohepatic circulation is interrupted, etofibrate administration causes the animals' bile flow to rise. This effect is most noticeable during the first two hours, and after 30 and 90 minutes, the difference with the controls is statistically significant. Rats treated with Etofibrate and control groups exhibit a highly significant linear association in the cumulative amount of bile secreted plotted against time, with the Etofibrate group's slope being much higher than the control group's[1].
Animal Protocol
Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200 to 220 g, fed ad libitum a standard laboratory diet and subjected to a 12 hr on-off light cycle and 22 to 24°C are used. Food is removed from the cages at the onset of the light cycle (7.00 a.m.) and 3 hr later, Etofibrate is administered by stomach tube without anesthesia at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight/day to one group of animals whereas another, control, group is treated with the medium. After treatments, rats are again allowed free access to food. On the 10th day, the animals are treated as above, but 2 hr after receiving the Etofibrate or the medium the rats are anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection (0.30 mL/100 g body weight). Animals are maintained at 37°C in a thermostatically controlled cabinet

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.87 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
