Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of lipid homeostasis. Activation of PPARα results in expression of a variety of genes, particularly those involved in fatty acid β-oxidation, binding, and transport. Ciprofibrate activates PPARα with an EC50 value of 20 µM and only marginally affects PPARγ (EC50 = >300 µM).{8548} It has been shown to lower adipose tissue weight and reduce plasma insulin concentrations in obese rats and has been used clinically in the treatment of dyslipidemia.{8548,29847} Ciprofibrate reportedly stimulates cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression and improves the flow of cholesterol through the indirect reverse cholesterol transport system, preserving plasma HDL.{29848}

    CAY10512 – 100 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
