Description

Dl-Decanoylcarnitine Chloride is a synthetic carnitine derivative, specifically the decanoyl ester of carnitine in its chloride salt form. This compound serves as a crucial biochemical tool and a potential pharmaceutical intermediate for studying lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function. It is primarily required by research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and manufacturers of high-purity biochemical reagents. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for critical applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I and II, key enzymes in fatty acid oxidation.
• Metabolomics & Biomarker Studies: Serves as a reference standard or analytical standard in LC-MS/MS and HPLC methods for quantifying acylcarnitine profiles in biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key synthetic building block in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting metabolic disorders.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Incorporated into in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits for the detection of inherited metabolic diseases, such as disorders of fatty acid metabolism.
• Nutritional & Cosmetic Research: Investigated for potential applications in specialized nutraceuticals or topical formulations aimed at influencing cellular energy metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Decanoylcarnitine Chloride is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the exacting requirements of research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically by HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and specific tests is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under anhydrous conditions. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
