Ketogenic Nutrition in Combination With PPARα Activation Induced Metabolic Failure and Exacerbated Muscle Weakness in Septic Mice.
(PubMed, J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle)
- "In septic mice, pemafibrate combined with balanced-TPN or lipid-rich TPN induced PPARα activation but did not result in ketosis nor affect muscle weakness. Pemafibrate combined with pure LCTs induced ketosis in sepsis but worsened muscle weakness, possibly explained by muscular bioenergetic failure."

Impact of PNPLA3 Genotype on Hepatic Steatosis Response to Pemafibrate in MASLD With Dyslipidemia.
(PubMed, Hepatol Res)
- "Pemafibrate reduced hepatic steatosis preferentially in PNPLA3 CC carriers, whereas PNPLA3 G-allele carriers showed attenuated CAP improvement without weight loss. PNPLA3 polymorphism may influence steatosis-lowering efficacy of pemafibrate, underscoring the need for genotype-informed therapeutic strategies."

Effects of pemafibrate (a selective PPAR-α agonist) versus weight loss through an intensive lifestyle modification on liver enzymes, serum soluble dipeptidyl peptidase-4, and hepatic steatosis and fibrosis evaluated by FibroScan transient elastography in people with type 2 diabetes and MASLD.
(PubMed, Clinics (Sao Paulo))
- "In people with type 2 diabetes and MASLD, although weight loss through an ILI was better than pemafibrate in terms of the main indicators that assess improvements in the pathogenesis of MASLD, such as CAP, pemafibrate is as effective as moderate weight loss for decreasing liver enzymes or serum sDPP-4/CD26."

Selective Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-α (PPARα) Modulator Inhibits Cyst Enlargement in PKD
(KIDNEY WEEK 2025)
- "Although fenofibrate, a PPARα modulator, has been reported to suppress renal cyst enlargement, it has not yet been applied clinically due to concerns about renal metabolism and nephrotoxicity. Conclusion The favorable effects of pemafibrate in animal models of cystic kidney disease and cellular experiments demonstrated its potential as a clinical treatment for ADPKD. We will evaluate the optimal dosage and toxicity of pemafibrate treatment."

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α Modulator Pemafibrate Ameliorates Salt-Sensitive Hypertension and Hypertensive Organ Damage After Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats
(KIDNEY WEEK 2025)
- "Conclusion Pemafibrate, a selective PPARα modulator, ameliorates salt-sensitive hypertension and hypertensive kidney injury after IRI in rats by suppressing NLRP3-mediated inflammation and inhibiting NCC activation. These findings suggest pemafibrate as a potential therapeutic agent for salt-sensitive hypertension and its associated organ damage."

Renoprotective Effects of Pemafibrate in Patients with CKD: An Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled Trial (PROFIT-CKD Study)
(KIDNEY WEEK 2025)
- "Notably, this effect was similarly observed in the obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) subgroup of patients with diabetic nephropathy (least squares mean difference: 7.2; P = 0.02), but not in the group without obesity (least squares mean difference: 0.15; P = 0.95). Conclusion In non-dialysis CKD patients, Pemafibrate treatment did not significantly alter proteinuria compared to conventional therapy; however, it may be beneficial in patients with diabetes nephropathy, especially with obesity."

Bezafibrate, a Pan PPAR agonist, attenuates experimental rheumatoid arthritis via PPAR dependent modulation of inflammatory pathways with emphasis on PPAR γ activity.
(PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
- "Initially, molecular docking was performed using a panel of fibrate-class compounds (including pemafibrate, bezafibrate, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, and clofibrate) against the ligand-binding domain of PPAR-γ (PDB ID: 7WGO). These findings suggest that bezafibrate, selected through integrative computational and pharmacological screening, effectively ameliorates experimental autoimmune arthritis via PPAR-γ activation. This highlights its promise as a repurposed therapeutic candidate and warrants further investigation."

Role of Ketone Body Metabolism in MASLD Progression and Pemafibrate Efficacy
(AHA 2025)
- "Moreover, the beneficial effects of PEMA on fatty liver appear to require intact ketone metabolism, suggesting that individual differences in therapeutic response may be influenced by metabolic status. These findings highlight the potential of ketone body metabolism as a novel therapeutic target for MASLD."

Not all fibrates are made equal: Learning from biology and clinical trials.
(PubMed, Atherosclerosis)
- "However, only fenofibrate appears to reduce apoB, whereas gemfibrozil and pemafibrate do not. Real-world efficacy studies and CVD outcome trials have shown that fenofibrate may be an option in combination with statins compared to other fibrates and is well tolerated. Additionally, evidence from real-world studies of the fenofibrate-statin combination in patients over a period of up to 20 years has dispelled safety concerns regarding long-term use of fenofibrate."

THE CLINICAL EFFICACY OF A PPARΑ AGONIST ON MURINE PRIMARY BILIARY CHOLANGITIS
(AASLD 2025)
- "Background: Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) agonists, such as bezafibrate, elafibranor, and seladelpar, are recognized as one of the second-line treatments for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)...Mice were fed either a normal/control diet (n=8) or a diet containing low (0.01 mg/100 g, n=6) or high (0.03 mg/100 g, n=6) doses of pemafibrate (PEM), a selective PPARα modulator, for 8 weeks... Our findings suggest that PPARα agonist exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in PBC through FXR suppression and improved BA composition. These effects collectively contribute to the amelioration of cholangitis and hepatic fibrosis in this PBC murine model. These findings support PPARα agonists as a rational adjunct therapy for PBC."

Repositioning a drug for hyperlipidemia as a potential senotherapeutic for aging-related respiratory diseases
(ERS 2025)
- "To evaluate the antifibrotic effects of pemafibrate, we compared the jet nebulizer method with a drug- mixed diet in bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis mouse models. Nebulized administration of pemafibrate may be a promising therapeutic option for aging-related lung diseases. Focusing on drug repositioning, we are currently developing strategies to prolong the retention of pemafibrate in the lungs."

The distinct effects of metformin and imeglimin on high glucose-induced alterations in metabolic function and reactive oxygen species production in mouse Schwann cells are modulated by pemafibrate and/or fatty acid-binding proteins.
(PubMed, Front Cell Neurosci)
