Description

Dl-Caproylcarnitine Chloride CAS NO 6920-35-0 is a high-purity acylcarnitine derivative, a key biochemical intermediate in lipid metabolism research and pharmaceutical development. Its primary value lies in its role as a reference standard and a critical building block for studying carnitine-dependent fatty acid transport and mitochondrial function. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries focused on metabolic disorders, diagnostic assay development, and advanced biochemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of acylcarnitines in drug development and quality control laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial substrate or inhibitor in studies of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) enzymes and mitochondrial β-oxidation pathways.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: A key component in the production of calibrators and controls for clinical mass spectrometry kits used to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., organic acidemias).
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Synthesis: Acts as a precursor or an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of specialized supplements targeting energy metabolism.
• Metabolomics and Biomarker Discovery: Employed as an analytical standard in LC-MS/MS platforms for the accurate identification and quantification of carnitine esters in biological samples.
