In Vitro

Fenofibric acid is a PPAR activitor, with EC50s of 22.4 µM, 1.47 µM, and 1.06 µM for PPARα, PPARγ and PPARδ, respectively[1]. Fenofibric acid (10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 nM) dose-dependently inhibits COX-2 enzyme, with IC50 of 48 nM[2]. Fenofibric acid (500 nM) reduces abundance of AOX1 protein in HepG2 cells[3]. Fenofibric acid (100 µM) decreases JNK1/2, c-Jun, and p38 MAPK phosphorylation, and prevents the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and disruption of blood retinal barrier (BRB) in response to the combination of high-glucose (HG) and hypoxia in ARPE-19 cells. Fenofibric acid (100 µM) activates IGF-IR/Akt/ERK1/2-mediated survival signaling pathways in ARPE-19 cells under HG conditions and hypoxia[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.84 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.84 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[4]

ARPE-19 cells are cultured under normoglycemic (5.5 mM D-glucose) or hyperglycemic (25 mM D-glucose) conditions for 18 days at 37°C under 5% (v/v) CO2 in medium DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal serum (FS) and penicillin/streptomycin. ARPE-19 cells are used and the media is changed every 3-4 days. The conditions tested are: (1) Control cells which are maintained in 5.5 mM D-glucose (normal glucose) for 18 days. (2) Cells cultured in 5.5 mM D-glucose treated with 100 µM Fenofibric acid for 72 h (days 16, 17, and 18; 1 application/day). (3) Cells cultured as in (1) or (2) and submitted to hypoxia (1% oxygen) for the last 6 or 24 h. (4) Cells maintained in 25 mM D-glucose (HG) for 18 days. (5) Cells cultured in 25 mM D-glucose treated with 100 µM Fenofibric acid for 72 h (days 16, 17, and 18; 1 application/day). (6)Cells cultured as in (4) or (5) and submitted to hypoxia (1% oxygen) for the last 6 or 24 h[4].

Animal Administration
[2]

The anti-inflammatory activity of fenofibrate and its active metabolite fenofibric acid is assessed by injecting 0.1 mL of 1% carrageenan solution prepared in saline (sub-plantar) to the right hind paw of the rats. Rats are divided into 6 groups of six animals each. The first group serves as negative control and receives 1% tween-80 in distilled water, 10 mL/kg body mass. Group 2 and 3 receive a single dose of fenofibrate and standard drug diclofenac at 10 mg/kg body mass, whereas groups 4, 5, and 6 receive 3 doses of Fenofibric acid at 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg body mass, respectively. All the drugs are given orally using gavages 60 min before the injection of 0.1 mL of 1% carrageenan through sub-plantar route. The volume of oedema of test and control groups is measured using plethysmometer at 0, 1, 2, and 3 h after induction of inflammation[2].
