Applications Ciprofibrate-O-β-Glucuronide is a derivative of Ciprofibrate (C482475). Ciprofibrate is a hypolipemic agent that is structurally related to Clofibrate (C586910). Ciprofibrate works primarily by stimulating lipoprotein lipases and hepatic lipases in the breakdown of triglyceride and cholesterol. References Arnold, A., et al.: J. Pharm.

Ciprofibrate-o-β-glucuronide is the major metabolite of ciprofibrate in humans. It can be detected in urine by a variety of analytical methods, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy, voltammetry, and microscopy. Ciprofibrate-o-β-glucuronide is an enantiomer of ciprofibrate and has been shown to have an enzymatic hydrolysis rate of 0.07% per hour. This hydrolysis process is catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Ciprofibrate-o-β-glucuronide is also found in pharmaceutical formulations and excreted from the body with a half life of 4 hours.
