Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 94 mg/mL (200.6 mM)
Ethanol 94 mg/mL (200.6 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.55mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 11 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.7mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 94 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Clinofibrate inhibits hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) with IC50 of 0.47 mM, is a lipid-lowering agent used for controlling high cholesterol and triacylglyceride levels in the blood.
Targets
HMGCR [1]
0.47 mM
In vitro Clinofibrate is an antihyperlipidemic agent with IC50 with 40 μM on the activities of human liver 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. Clinofibrate stimulates the activity of AKR 1C4 by 2.0-fold. The concentration of Clinofibrate at which maximum stimulation is achieved is 50 μM. [1]
In vivo Clinofibrate significantly decreases the high plasma cholesterol level of atherosclerotic rats, which is 823 +/- 256 (mean +/- SD) mg/dl, or about ten times that of control rats (85 +/- 11 mg/dl). On treatment with Clinofibrate, the cholesterol level is reduced mostly in the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction (d less than 1.006). Heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activity in epididymal adipose tissue, lipoprotein lipase activity in post heparin plasma, and VLDL-triolein hydrolizing activity in adipose tissue stromal vessels are higher in Clinofibrate-treated rats than in atherosclerotic rats. Of the enzymes in the arterial wall concerned with cholesterol ester metabolism, acid cholesterol esterase activity is decreased in atherosclerotic rats, and Clinofibrate treatment increased this activity. The ratio of acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase activity (ACAT) to neutral cholesterol esterase activity is higher in atherosclerotic rats than in control rats and is lower in Clinofibrate-treated rats than in atherosclerotic rats.
