Dulofibrate is a fibrate derivative with antilipidemic activity. Unlike clofibrate, dulofibrate is selective for a reduction in triglycerides. Dulofibrate decreased the conjugation of nopol. Dulofibrate exhibited a clofibrate-like effect on the induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes, characterized by an increase in lauric acid 12-hydroxylation and bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activities. Dulofibrate and fenofibrate have been shown to possess an equal potency as peroxisome proliferators.
