Antilipidemics (3) Flashcards
What are aryloxyisobutyric acids?
fibric acids
fibrates overall effect
- decrease plasma cholesterol decrease total lipid levels
fibrates MOA
- originally unknown - activate PPAR
Where does fibrates act?
before mevalonate formation accelerates turnover of removal of cholesterol from liver
T/F clofibrate is still used today
False
- discontinued due to adverse effects
T/F FDA withdrew approval of fenofibrate with statins used together
true!
- myopathy
Fenofibrate overall effects
Decreases LDL and VLDL
Increase HDL
What is the carrier molecule for VLDL?
apolipoprotein B
Fibrates regulate the transcription of the major ____ apolipoproteins (___ & ____). As a result, partially mediates the ____ effects of HDL levels
HDL
ApoA-I
apoA-II
Inductive
What are the 3 ways fibrates can initiate the hypotriglyceridemic actions?
- incrase hydrolysis of plasma TG
- stimulate cellular FA uptake and conversion to acyl-CoA derivatives
- decrease synthesis of FA and TG & decreased production of VLDL
How do fibrates increase hydrolysis of TGs?
induction of LPL
reduction of apoC-III expression
How do fibrates stimulate FA uptake and conversion to acyl-CoA derivatives
due to increased expression of genes for FA transport protein and acyl-CoA synthetase
(SAR) what is required in fibrates?
Requires acid (COOH) or ester (prodrug)
(SAR) what are 2 ways to increase t1/2 in fibrates?
Add Cl on aromatic ring
di-Cl on cyclopropyl ring
fibrates metabolism
excreted as glucuronides in urine
bound to plasma proteins because of acid groups
How does this get metabolized?
How does this get metabolized?
Fibrates uses
- hypertriglycemia
- familial combine hyperlipidemia
- dysbeta lipoproteinemia
Clofibrate had increased mortality from non-coronary heart diseases
- malignancy
- gall bladder disease
- pancreatitis
**also seen with other compounds of this class
Fibrates cause the urinary loss of _____
betadine
Betadine is an essential metabolite that is involved in _____, in ____ group metabolism and affects _____ in body
osmoregulation
methyl
lipid partitioning
statins + fibrates
increase myopathy
insulin + clofibrate
increase insulin effect that results in hypoglycemia
fenofibric acid + simvastatin in diabetic patients
may increase cardiovascular risk in females
