Fibric acid is a synthetic compound that acts as a lipid-lowering agent. It is a derivative of phenoxyacetic acid, with the chemical formula C10H10O3. Fibric acid is not found naturally but is synthesized through chemical processes. It exerts its effects by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARĪ±), a nuclear receptor involved in regulating lipid metabolism. Activation of PPARĪ± leads to increased expression of enzymes responsible for lipid catabolism, such as lipoprotein lipase and acyl-CoA oxidase. This results in a reduction in triglyceride levels and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Fibric acid derivatives, such as fenofibrate and gemfibrozil, are commonly used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia. Research on fibric acid focuses on understanding its mechanisms of action, exploring its potential therapeutic benefits in other conditions, and evaluating its safety and efficacy. Its importance lies in its ability to manage dyslipidemia and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.'
