Clofibric acid-d₄  (Synonyms: Chlorofibrinic acid-d₄)

Clofibric acid-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Clofibric acid. Clofibric acid (Chlorofibrinic acid), the pharmaceutically active metabolite of lipid regulators Clofibrate, Etofibrate and Etofyllinclofibrate, is a PPARα agonist which exhibits hypolipidemic effects. Clofibric acid also is an herbicide[1][2][3].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
