What does it do?

Ashipimox is a nicotinic acid derivative that is used to regulate blood lipid levels. It is primarily used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, and it plays a role in reducing blood triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

Ashipimox lowers the concentration of blood triglycerides by inhibiting the breakdown of fatty acids in adipose tissue. It also improves blood lipid levels by regulating cholesterol synthesis in the liver.
