Fenofibric acid is a fibrate that acts as a lipid-lowering agent, decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides.{31212} It displays high affinity for liver fatty acid binding protein (Ki = 24 nM).{23622} Fenofibric acid increases plasma apolipoprotein A-II via the response element for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), although it has very low affinity for PPARs (IC50s > 100 µM for both human PPARα or PPARγ).{31213,31212} However, in a transactivation assay, it exhibits EC50 values of 18 and 30 µM for mouse and human PPARα, respectively.{10670} Fenofibric acid, when combined with statins, has been shown to be effective against mixed dyslipidemia in clinical trials.{31211}
