Product Information

• Name: Clofibric acid
• Synonyms: 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid2-(p-Chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acida-(p-Chlorophenoxy)isobutyric acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Clofibric acid is a growth factor-β1 (GF-β1) that is an agonist of the nuclear receptor PPARα. Clofibric acid has been shown to inhibit the activity of benzalkonium chloride, an enzyme that degrades DNA, and it also inhibits polymerase chain reactions. Clofibric acid is believed to act as a competitive inhibitor of the ryanodine receptor. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in transfection experiments with human cells and may be used in analytical methods for measuring clofibric acid levels in pharmaceutical products.
