Bezafibrate is a lipid-lowering fibric acid derivative. Bezafibrate directly bound to and activated all three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtypes respectively in PPAR binding and transactivation assays. However, from a biochemical point of view, bezafibrate is a PPAR ligand with a relatively low potency. Bezafibrate leads to considerable raising of HDL cholesterol and reduces triglycerides, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood glucose level, significantly lowering the incidence of cardiovascular events and new diabetes in patients with features of metabolic syndrome. It is the only pan-PPAR activator with more than a quarter of a century of therapeutic experience with a good safety profile.
