Description

Picafibrate is clofibrate derivative. It is a hypocholesteraemic agent. Fibrates reduce plasma triglycerides by inhibiting their hepatic synthesis and increasing their catabolism. These effects are due to activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR alpha) and induction of the over-expression of genes containing a peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) in their promoter.
