Description

Clofibric acid is a plant growth regulator against the plant hormone auxin.


Clofibric acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is isobutyric acid substituted at position 2 by a p-chlorophenoxy group. It is a metabolite of the drug clofibrate. It has a role as an anticholesteremic drug, an antilipemic drug, a PPARalpha agonist, an antineoplastic agent, a marine xenobiotic metabolite and a herbicide. It is a monocarboxylic acid, an aromatic ether and a member of monochlorobenzenes. It derives from an isobutyric acid.|An antilipemic agent that is the biologically active metabolite of CLOFIBRATE.

Clofibric acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

By condensation of p-chlorophenol. P-chlorophenol and acetone were added to the reaction pot, sodium hydroxide was added with stirring, and chloroform was added dropwise at about 20°C. The reaction temperature was controlled at 25-30°C. At this time, the reaction was intense. When the reaction eased, the mixture was heated to reflux for 3h. Acetone was recovered by distillation, water was added, heated to 70°C to dissolve, hydrochloric acid was added to pH 2-3, and crystals were precipitated upon cooling. Cool to below 10 ℃, spin-filter, wash with water until no oil, dry, and get the finished product. The yield is about 80%.

Uses

A hypolipidemic compound
