Description

(R)-Oleoylcarnitine is a high-purity, enantiomerically defined fatty acid ester of L-carnitine, identified by CAS NO 38677-66-6. This compound is a critical biochemical intermediate in lipid metabolism, specifically in the mitochondrial transport and β-oxidation of oleic acid. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences sector, particularly those focused on metabolic research, biomarker discovery, and the development of diagnostic tools or nutraceuticals targeting energy metabolism and metabolic disorders.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard and substrate in studies of fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) enzyme activity.
• Metabolomics & Biomarker Analysis: Serves as a critical analytical standard for the accurate quantification of acylcarnitine profiles in biological samples via LC-MS/MS, aiding in the diagnosis and study of metabolic diseases.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated as a potential active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or intermediate in therapies targeting metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular health, and energy regulation.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Incorporated into advanced dietary supplements aimed at supporting cellular energy production, athletic performance, and healthy lipid metabolism.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A key component in the calibration and quality control of clinical diagnostic kits for inborn errors of metabolism, such as disorders of fatty acid oxidation.
