Etomoxir sodium salt ((R)-Etomoxir sodium salt) is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT-1a) inhibitor that inhibits fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Etomoxir sodium salt has antitumor activity.

Etomoxir is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT-1a) inhibitor that inhibits fatty acid oxidation by inhibiting CPT-1a and inhibits palmitate oxidation in humans, rats, and guinea pigs. Etomoxir has an inhibitory effect on adenine nucleotide translocase and can inhibit macrophage polarization by disrupting CoA homeostasis.
