Product Description

Fenofibrate (Tricor, Procetofen, LF-178, Lipanthyl, NSC-281319; Controlip, Normalip, Secalip, durafenat, Trilipix) is a fibric acid based anti-hyperlipidemic drug of the fibrate class approved for clinical uses as a lipid-lowering agent. Fenofibrate acts as selective PPARα agonist with an EC50 of 30 μM. It is used to reduce cholesterol levels in patients at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Fenofibrate inhibits CYP2B6 (IC50=0.7±0.2 μM) and CYP2C19 (IC50=0.2±0.1 μM) with a fair degree of potency. According to reference [1], fenofibrate exhibits moderate inhibitory effects on CYP2C8 (IC50=4.8±1.7 μM) and CYP2C9 (IC50=9.7 μM). Compared to PPARα, fenofibrate has a greater affinity for cytochrome P450 epoxygenase (CYP)2C and inhibits it. Fenofibrate is a well-known PPARα agonist, but it also appears to be a strong inhibitor of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase (CYP)2C, according to an in vitro evaluation of 209 commonly given medications and related xenobiotics. Fenofibrate has >10 times the affinity for CYP2C (EC50=2.39±0.4 μM) compared to PPARα (EC50=30 μM). Low doses of fenofibrate reduce CYP2C8 activity without activating PPARα[2].
ln Vivo
At a modest dose of 10 μg/g/day, fenofibrate suppresses CYP2C8 overexpression-induced retinal and choroidal neovascularization by 29% (P=0.021) and 36% (P=1.2×10−9), respectively, on a daily basis[2].
Animal Protocol
The mouse oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model is used. Briefly to induce retinal neovascularization, mouse pups and their nursing mother are exposed to 75±3% oxygen from P7 to P12. For the higher dose Fenofibrate (F6020) treatment (100 mg/kg/day). Fenofibrate is dissolved in corn oil to make 100mg/mL solution and pure corn oil is used as vehicle control. For the lower dose treatment (10 mg/kg/day), Fenofibrate is dissolved in 10% DMSO, D2650 to make a 10 mg/mL solution and 10% DMSO is used as vehicle control. After return to room air, mice are orally gavaged with Fenofibrate (100 or 10 mg/kg) or vehicle control daily from P12 to P16. At P17, eyes are enucleated immediately after euthanasia and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Retinas are then dissected and stained overnight with Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated isolectin GS-IB4 (10 μg/mL) at room temperature. After washing with PBS, retinas are mounted onto microscope slides with photoreceptor side down and embedded in SlowFade antifade mounting medium. Retinal images are taken using a fluorescence microscope with image software. Retinal neovascularization is analyzed.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
