Description

D-Palmitoylcarnitine Chloride is a high-purity, enantiomerically pure form of palmitoylcarnitine, a critical intermediate in fatty acid metabolism. This compound is essential for research and development in metabolic studies, serving as a key reference standard and biochemical tool. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and manufacturers of diagnostic reagents focused on cardiometabolic and mitochondrial disorders.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and substrate in studies of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I and II enzyme activity, fatty acid β-oxidation, and mitochondrial function.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a critical intermediate and analytical standard in the development of therapeutics targeting metabolic syndromes, cardiac ischemia, and disorders of fatty acid metabolism.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: Employed in the production of calibrators, controls, and assay kits for clinical diagnostics related to metabolic and genetic disorders (e.g., CPT deficiency).
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Applied in cell-based assays to investigate lipid-induced insulin resistance, apoptosis, and the role of acylcarnitines in cellular signaling pathways.
• Metabolomics & Biomarker Discovery: Acts as a certified reference material for the accurate quantification of acylcarnitine profiles in mass spectrometry-based metabolomic studies.
• Nutritional Science Research: Utilized in studies examining the role of carnitine and its esters in energy metabolism, exercise physiology, and nutritional supplements.
