Ciprofibrate identity Establishes what substance the registry entry and each candidate material actually denote.

Structure and identifiers

Reconciles the registry name with chemically explicit reference records.

Parent substance anchor

Use the ciprofibrate parent record as an identity anchor; PubChem associates CID 2763 with C13H14Cl2O3. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2763)

  1. Which verified structure and identifier records define ciprofibrate for vr.tr.ciprofibrate? definition
  2. Do the supplier's CAS number and structure resolve to that same substance record? provenance

Chemical boundaries

Separates identity-preserving descriptions from chemically distinct or more narrowly specified materials.

Parent versus specified material

Record evidence for stereochemistry, salts and derivatives without assuming that every ciprofibrate-labelled material has the same specification.

  2. What analytical evidence supports its stated stereochemical composition? measurement
Ciprofibrate lot quality Captures the composition and qualification of actual ciprofibrate material.

Assay and impurities

Separates ciprofibrate content from related substances and residual materials.

Quantified composition

Require an assay basis and analyte-specific impurity evidence rather than a single unqualified purity percentage.

  2. Which related substances, residual solvents and other relevant contaminants were tested, and against which limits? measurement

Grade and reference traceability

Connects a lot's intended use to its specification and analytical references.

Qualified material status

Research-grade material, an analytical reference and pharmaceutical input require separately evidenced qualification.

Ciprofibrate biological interface Connects the substance to evidenced pharmacological effects and downstream clinical constraints.

Activity and endpoints

Separates pharmacological classification, measured activity and clinical interpretation.

Fibrate activity context

The cited SmPC classifies ciprofibrate as a fibrate and describes reductions in LDL and VLDL with increased HDL; these statements do not establish every proposed clinical benefit. [Product SmPC](https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6650/smpc)

What it is Filled

Ciprofibrate is a synthetic chlorinated phenoxyisobutyric acid derivative of the fibrate class that modifies lipid metabolism primarily through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα).

In scope

  • Chemical identity and distinctions from related fibrates, salts and stereochemically specified substances
  • Lot composition, assay, impurities and intended material grade
  • Solid form, dissolution behaviour and condition-dependent physical properties
  • Stability, storage history and analytical evidence supporting material disposition
  • Pharmacological relationships, hazard evidence and jurisdiction-specific substance constraints

Out of scope

  • Finished tablets, their excipients, packaging and product-specific shelf life
  • Patient diagnosis, prescribing, dosing and treatment monitoring
  • Manufacturing equipment and complete synthesis-process models
  • Hyperlipidaemia and other disease models
  • Independent models of other fibrates, metabolites or chemically distinct derivatives

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to identify ciprofibrate, assess the condition and suitability of a material lot, and determine which handling or use decisions require additional evidence.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Match the candidate to ciprofibrate's chemical structure and identifier record; PubChem identifies the parent record as CID 2763 with formula C13H14Cl2O3. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2763)
  • Require structure-sensitive analytical confirmation against an authenticated ciprofibrate reference; a fibrate label or molecular formula alone does not establish identity.
  • Distinguish the parent substance from a salt, derivative or stereochemically specified material by recording the actual structure and the basis of the supplier's naming.
  • Distinguish bulk ciprofibrate from a medicine containing it: the cited tablet product contains 100 mg ciprofibrate plus excipients. [Product SmPC](https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6650/smpc)
