(R)-Butyryl Carnitine Chloride (CAS 162067-50-7)
QUICK LINKS
(R)-Butyryl Carnitine Chloride is a variant of the naturally occurring compound carnitine, distinguished by a butyryl group attached to the nitrogen atom of carnitine. This modification enhances its biochemical activity, enabling it to play a vital role in cellular energy metabolism. Specifically, it facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where these acids are broken down through β-oxidation to produce energy. Beyond its central role in energy metabolism, (R)-Butyryl Carnitine Chloride is involved in various biochemical processes, including the modulation of acyl-coenzyme A levels within cells, which is critical for maintaining the balance between lipid biosynthesis and degradation. This compound is of interest in research focused on understanding cellular energy dynamics and the management of lipid pools within organisms.
