Fusaric acid (J-butylpicolinic acid) is a fungal toxin with low to moderate toxicity synthesized by some Fusurium species which cause infections in cereal grains and other agricultural commodities. It may potentiate the effects of other Fusurium toxins. Fusaric acid is a potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Fusaric acid has potent anti-proliferative activity in vitro on various normal and cancer cell lines and suggest that it exhibits some cytotoxic specificity for growing and confluent colorectal adenocarcinoma and mammary adenocarcinoma cell lines. Fusaric acid is known as a potent dopamine-beta-hydroxylase inhibitor of high specificity. Fusaric acid calcium salt elicited the hypotensive response primarily through the reduction of total peripheral vascular resistance index.

Tibric Acid is a sulfamoylbenzoic acid derivative patented by American multinational pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer Inc. as a hypolipidemic agent. In preclinical models, Tibric acid, given orally, was more effective than clofibrate in preventing the hyperlipemic and hypercholesteremic effects of various diets in rats. At high concentrations in vitro, Tibric acid moderately inhibited ADP- or thrombin-induced aggregation of rabbit blood platelets. In patients with severe type IV hyperlipoproteinemia and chylomicronemia, Tibric Acid lowered serum triglyceride and cholesterol values but administration of Tibric Acid to a normal subject did not affect serum lipid levels.
