THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Lipid Metabolism Regulator
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Fenofibrate lowers elevated serum lipids by decreasing the low-density
lipoprotein (LDL)
fraction rich in cholesterol and the very low-density lipoprotein
(VLDL) fraction rich in
triglycerides. In addition, fenofibrate increases the high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
fraction.
Fenofibrate appears to have a greater depressant effect on the very
low density lipoproteins
(VLDL) than on the low density lipoproteins (LDL). Therapeutic doses
of fenofibrate produce
variable elevations of HDL cholesterol, a reduction in the content of
the low density lipoproteins
cholesterol, and a substantial reduction in the triglyceride content
of very low density
lipoproteins.
Fenofibrate is a fibric acid derivative whose lipid modifying effects
reported in humans are
mediated by the activation of a specific nuclear receptor called
peroxisome proliferator activated
receptor alpha (PPAR), which produces:
•
a reduction in apo C-III, and therefore a reduction in the level of
dense atherogenic LDL
particles;
•
a stimulation of mitochondrial beta-oxidation, and therefore a
reduction in triglyceride
secretion;
•
a rise in lipoprotein lipase production, and therefore an acceleration
of triglyceride rich
lipoprotein breakdown;
•
a rise in apo A-I and apo A-II production, and a corresponding rise in
HDL.
Metabolism and Excretion
After oral administration, fenofibrate is rapidly hydrolyzed to
fenofibric acid.
In man it is mainly excreted through the kidney. Half-life i
