Clofibric acid is a herbicide with the IUPAC name 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid and molecular formula C10H11ClO3. It functions as a plant growth regulator against the plant hormone auxin. Clofibric acid is also a naturally-occurring pharmaceutical compound,[1] having been found in Swiss lakes and the North Sea.[2]
Clofibric acid is a metabolite of the cholesterol-lowering pharmaceutical drug clofibrate, as well as that of the lipid regulators clofibrate, etofibrate, and theofibrate.[1]
