Description

Oleoylcarnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine ester, a key intermediate in mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation. This compound is of significant interest in metabolic research and pharmaceutical development due to its role in cellular energy metabolism and lipid transport. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries for biochemical studies, biomarker analysis, and as a reference standard.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical substrate and reference standard in studies of fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and metabolic disorders.
• Diagnostic Development: Serves as a calibration standard in LC-MS/MS methods for quantifying acylcarnitine profiles in clinical diagnostics for inborn errors of metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a potential intermediate or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development of therapies targeting metabolic syndromes.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Investigated for use in advanced dietary supplements aimed at supporting cellular energy production and metabolic health.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Employed in cell-based assays to study lipid-induced insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, and related metabolic pathways.

Quality Control

Our Oleoylcarnitine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry, cool place. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
