General description

4′-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid (xenalipin) has been tested as an effective hypolipidemic agent in animal species. It has been shown to cause significant reduction in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in animal models and would be beneficial in therapy for hyperlipidemia. Synthesis of 4′-(trifluoromethyl)-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid (xenalipin) has been reported. Xenalipin has been synthesized in the [14C]-labelled form, with specific activity 21.0mCi/mmol, which is suitable for the metabolism and distribution studies in animals.

Application

4′-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid may be used in chemical synthesis.

Xenalipin (4'-trifluoromethyl-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid) is a chemically novel compound which has been found to be an effective hypolipidemic agent in two animal species. Significant reductions in serum cholesterol and triglycerides were observed in cholesterol-cholic acid-fed rats following oral doses of 10-30
