HIDE SMILES / InChI
Nafenopin is a hypolipidemic drug. It is also a peroxisome proliferator. In rats and mice, nafenopin is a nongenotoxic hepatocarcinogen, which induces hepatic DNA synthesis and enzyme induction both in vivo and in hepatocyte cultures in vitro. Hepatic Ca2+ mobilization induced by nafenopin may play an important role in the mechanism by which nafenopin exerts its physiological as well as its tumour promotive activity upon chronic treatment with carcinogenic doses.

Sample Use Guides

The repeated oral administration of nafenopin, a hypolipidaemic compound, at a dose of 100 mg/kg to male C57BL/6, DBA/2, Balb c and C3H mice caused an increase in the specific activity of liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase, the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase was also increased in all except the C3H mice. In the range of 10-200 mg/kg nafenopin the induction of the two hydrolase activities was found to increase with increasing doses of the test compound.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Nafenopin (Ki 430 uM) was competitive inhibitor of rat peroxisomal palmitoyl-CoA formation suggesting that it binds at the active site and thus potentially functions as alternative substrate for the peroxisomal ligase.
