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.

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].

Additional Infomation |
Etofibrate is a monocarboxylic acid.
Etofibrate is a fibrate produced by the combination of clofibrate ester linked to niacin. These components separate in the body slowly allowing for pharmacokinetics similar to controlled-release formulations. Etofibrate is an orally-available combination of clofibrate and niacin linked together by an ester bond. In the body clofibrate and niacin separate, acting as a controlled-release formulation. |

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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.87 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 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. View More

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
