Biomolecular Chemistry of Isopropyl Fibrates

Abstract: Isopropyl 2-[4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-phenoxy]-2-methylpropanoic acid and isopropyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropanoate, also known as fenofibrate and isopropyl clofibrate, are hypolipidemic agents of the fibrate family. In a previously reported triclinic structure of fenofibrate (polymorph I) the methyl groups of the isopropyl moiety (iPr) are located symmetrically about the carboxylate group. We report a new monoclinic form (polymorph II) of fenofibrate and a first structural description of isopropyl clofibrat… Show more

“…The vast majority of literature dealing with this compound concerns its clinical action, bioavailability, and formulation [1][2][3][4][5]. In addition there is some limited literature concerning its physico-chemical properties [6][7][8][9][10][11], including spectroscopic and analytical data [12][13][14][15], and the crystal structures of its two known polymorphs [16][17][18]. Some rough solubility data for a number of solvents are reported, with no mention of temperature [7].…”

“…The non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically to convergence with final residual values: R1 = 3.2% and wR(F 2 ) = 8.0%. All OH and NH hydrogen atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and were refined freely using isotropic thermal parameters like in the structure determination of fenofibric acid and fenofibrate following established procedure 47 48 49 . All other H atoms were treated using appropriate riding models (AFIX m3).…”
