butyryl-l-carnitine

Butyryl-L-carnitine chloride (Standard) is an endogenous metabolite and a member of the acylcarnitines, involved in fatty acid metabolism. It acts as a biomarker in plasma for improved diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure and is indicative of abnormal lipid and energy metabolism. Butyryl-L-carnitine chloride (Standard) can be used for quantitative detection and research on metabolic pathways.

Butyryl-L-carnitine is a butyrate ester of carnitine. It is an inhibitor of intestinal transporters, blocking carnitine uptake by the carnitine transporter and glycine transport by the amino acid transporter in human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cells (IC50s = 1.5 μM and 4.6 mM, respectively).

Isobutyryl-L-carnitine chloride is a potential clinical OCT1 biomarker for DDI evaluation and can be used to study heart failure.

(3R)-3-Hydroxybutyryl-L-carnitine (Standard) is an acylcarnitine involved in fatty acid metabolism with the chemical formula C₁₁H₂₁NO₅. Hydroxybutyrylcarnitine is an intermediate in fatty acid metabolism and is used to study metabolic pathways and related diseases. (3R)-3-Hydroxybutyryl-L-carnitine (Standard can be used for quantitative analysis, studying metabolic pathways, and diagnosing related diseases.

Isobutyryl-L-carnitine is a member of the class of compounds known as acylcarnitines. Isobutyryl-L-carnitine is a product of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases.
