Cinnarizine clofibrate is a calcium channel protein inhibitor as well as an antihistamine channel blocker. The compound is a drug derivative of piperazine. Cinnarizine is used for the control of vomiting due to motion sickness. It acts by interfering with the signal transmission between vestibular apparatus of the inner ear and the vomiting centre of the hypothalamus
Clofibric acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of clofibric acid by GC- or LC-MS. Clofibric acid is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist (EC50 = 50 µM in a transactivation assay) and the active metabolite of clofibrate. It is formed from clofibrate by tissue and serum esterases. Dietary administration of clofibric acid (0.067-0.22%) reduces serum cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride levels in rats. It decreases glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) levels and increases glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, markers of xenobiotic stress, in the plasma of carp (C. carpio) when administered in tank water at a concentration of 10 µg L. Clofibric acid has been found in wastewater effluent.
Sitofibrate, a clofibrate derivative, acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonist and serves as an antihyperlipidemic agent [1].
