Bezafibrate EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is a member of the steroid nuclear receptor superfamily. Bezafibrate is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist for PPARα, PPARδ, and PPARγ. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activator.
PPARgamma agonists, including Bezafibrate, have beneficial effects in the suppression of the inflammatory response during RSV infection and therefore might have clinical efficacy in the course of severe RSV-infection.

R Manfredi et al.
The Journal of infection, 42(3), 181-188 (2001-09-08)
To assess the correlation between antiretroviral treatment and dyslipidaemia in HIV-infected patients, and the role of bezafibrate as a lipid-lowering agent. We retrospectively compared serum lipid levels of five groups of 40 patients, each of them treated with either saquinavir

Cardiovascular drugs and therapy, 11 Suppl 1, 257-263 (1997-05-01)
A large number of both primary and secondary preventive trials suggest that treatment of elevated plasma lipids may reduce the frequency of coronary heart disease (CHD) events. Meta-analyses indicate that for every 10% reduction of cholesterol, CHD mortality is lowered

European heart journal, 17 Suppl F, 37-42 (1996-12-01)
Current experience from coronary angiographic trials using different treatment regimens such as lifestyle changes, resins, nicotinic acid and statins, shows that progression of atheroma can be retarded, and that regression can sometimes be induced, by a marked lowering of LDL-cholesterol.

European heart journal, 19 Suppl H, H37-H41 (1998-08-26)
Bezafibrate is a latest generation fibrate derivative that substantially reduces total plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The Bezafibrate Coronary Atherosclerosis Intervention Trial (BECAIT) was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial over 5 years to assess
Alexander Tenenbaum et al.
Cardiovascular diabetology, 4, 14-14 (2005-09-20)
There are three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) subtypes which are commonly designated PPAR alpha, PPAR gamma and PPAR beta/delta. PPAR alpha activation increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol synthesis, stimulates "reverse" cholesterol transport and reduces triglycerides. PPAR gamma activation results
