Palmitoyl-L-carnitine chloride is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of acylcarnitines. Its chloride salt form enhances its stability and solubility. It is derived from the amino acid L-carnitine, which plays a vital role in energy metabolism in the body. Palmitoyl-L-carnitine specifically contains a palmitoyl group attached to the L-carnitine molecule. Acylcarnitines, including palmitoyl-L-carnitine, are involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they undergo beta-oxidation to generate energy. This process is for the utilization of fatty acids as a fuel source.
