fibrato
Sign in to saveIn pharmacology, the fibrates are a class of amphipathic carboxylic acids and esters. They are derivatives of fibric acid (phenoxyisobutyric acid). They are used for a range of metabolic disorders, mainly hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), and are therefore hypolipidemic agents.

Los fibratos son sustancias químicas derivadas del (ácido clorofenoxiisobutírico). Actúan estimulando los receptores nucleares denominados “receptores activados de proliferación de los peroxisomas” (PPAR). Por sus acciones en el organismo, se utilizan para el tratamiento de la hipertrigliceridemia, aunque la mayoría de los derivados del ácido fíbrico presentan efectos antitrombóticos potenciales, incluyendo la inhibición de la coagulación y aumento de la fibrinolisis.
