Description of Pemafibrate

Pemafibrate (K-877) is an oral peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α agonist for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia, EC50 on Gal4hPPARα = 1 nM [1].

Pemafibrate (10 µM, 24 h) regulated the expression of several target genes that code for proteins involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, in primary human hepatocytes and the mouse liver [2]. Pemafibrate (50 nM, 24h) activated PPAR-α transcription activity and more effectively than fenofibrate and pirinixic acid (Wy14643) [3].

Pemafibrate (0.001% in MF diets for 1 week) significantly reduced plasma triglyceride and total cholesterol levels, increased plasma HDL cholesterol levels, regulated gene expression related to triglyceride and HDL cholesterol metabolism in the liver, and regulated cholesterol and triglyceride metabolic gene expression in the small intestine in mice [4]. Pemafibrate also promoted cholesterol efflux and reverse cholesterol transport, exerted anti-inflammatory activity, and decreased atherosclerotic lesions [1]. Pemafibrate was more effective than fenofibrate at suppressing the postprandial increase of chylomicrons and the accumulation of chylomicron remnants, thereby attenuating postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia [5].

Protocol of Pemafibrate

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes

Preparation Method

The hepatocyte cultures were maintained at 37⊿ 95% humidity and 5% CO2 for 3 hours and gently replaced with InVitroGRO CP with antibiotics. After 24 hours, the hepatocytes were treated with InVitroGRO CP with antibiotics containing 100 nM and 10 µM of Pemafibrate or 0.01% DMSO as a control.

Reaction Conditions

100 nM and 10 µM for 24 hours

Applications

Pemafibrate treated 11 of the top 20 upregulated genes were involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female homozygous human apoE2KI mice

Preparation Method

Mice were fed a western diet containing (wt/wt) 0.2% cholesterol and 21% fat for 9 weeks and treated for the last 2 weeks with fenofibrate (250 mg/kg) or pemafibrate (0.1 or 1 mg/kg) or carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC, control).

Dosage form

250mg/kg, 2 weeks, feed with diet.

Applications

Pemafibrate strongly induced ABCA1 (+563%, p < 0.01 at 10 µM) and ABCG1 (+2093% p < 0.001 at 10 µM) mRNA steady-state levels in a dose-dependent manner (+168%, p < 0.05 for ABCA1 and +506%, p < 0.01 for ABCG1)
