Biological Activity

Description Gemfibrozil (CI-719) is an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα), used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
Targets
PPARα [1]
In vitro
In vitro Gemfibrozil exerts a minimal inhibitory effect on CYP3A-mediated simvastatin hydroxy acid (SVA) oxidation, but does inhibit SVA glucuronidation in dog and human liver microsomes. [1] Gemfibrozil markedly inhibits M-23 formation, with a K(i) (IC(50)) value of 69 (95) mM, whereas inhibition of M-1 formation is weaker with a K(i) (IC(50)) value of 273 mM in human liver microsomes. [2] Gemfibrozil strongly and competitively inhibits CYP2C9 activity, with a K(i) (IC(50)) value of 5.8 (9.6) mM. Gemfibrozil exhibits somewhat smaller inhibitory effects on CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 activities, with K(i) (IC(50)) values of 24 (47) mM and 82 (136) mM, respectively. [3] Gemfibrozil, a lipid-lowering drug, inhibits cytokine-induced production of NO and the expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in human U373MG astroglial cells and primary astrocytes. Gemfibrozil induces peroxisome proliferator-responsive element (PPRE)-dependent luciferase activity, which is inhibited by the expression of DeltahPPAR-alpha, the dominant-negative mutant of human PPAR-alpha. Gemfibrozil strongly inhibits the activation of NF-kappaB, AP-1, and C/EBPbeta but not that of gamma-activation site (GAS) in cytokine-stimulated astroglial cells. [4]
In Vivo
In vivo Gemfibrozil treatment significantly reduces (2-3-fold) the plasma clearance of SVA and the biliary excretion of SVA glucuronide (together with its cyclization product SV), but not the excretion of a major oxidative metabolite of SVA in dogs. [1]

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid 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 master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
