BEZAFIBRATE (C005B-039364)

Application

Bezafibrate has been used:

• a supplement in the standard diet (SD) for mice to study its effect on diabetes
• to evaluate its effect on hepatitis C virus (HCV) assembly and secretion
• to evaluate its effect on gonadal steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis of zebrafish and also used as standard for HPLC

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bezafibrate has the ability to repress HCV assembly and secretion. It is used to treat dyslipidemia.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is a member of the steroid nuclear receptor superfamily. Bezafibrate is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist for PPARα, PPARδ, and PPARγ. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activator.
PPARgamma agonists, including Bezafibrate, have beneficial effects in the suppression of the inflammatory response during RSV infection and therefore might have clinical efficacy in the course of severe RSV-infection.
