Etofibrate is the ethandiol-1,2 diester of the nicotinic and clofibric acids. Etofibrate has been shown to be a potent hypolipidemic agent in animal and human. After 10 days of treatment with Etofibrate, the rats show a body weight similar to that found in the control animals but their liver weight is significantly enhanced whereas plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels are decreased. Etofibrate treatment increases the bile flow of the animals, the effect being especially manifest during the first 2 hr after interruption of the enterohepatic circulation and the difference with the controls becomes statistically significant at 30 and 90 min. The cumulative amount of bile secreted plotted against time shows a highly significant linear correlation for both control and Etofibrate treated rats, the slope being significantly higher for the Etofibrate group than for controls[1].

Animal experiment: | Male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200 to 220 g, fed ad libitum a standard laboratory diet and subjected to a 12 hr on-off light cycle and 22 to 24°C are used. Food is removed from the cages at the onset of the light cycle (7.00 a.m.) and 3 hr later, Etofibrate is administered by stomach tube without anesthesia at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight/day to one group of animals whereas another, control, group is treated with the medium. After treatments, rats are again allowed free access to food. On the 10th day, the animals are treated as above, but 2 hr after receiving the Etofibrate or the medium the rats are anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection (0.30 mL/100 g body weight). Animals are maintained at 37°C in a thermostatically controlled cabinet[1]. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
