CAS 1935-18-8

(±)-Palmitoyl carnitine

Description:

(±)-Palmitoyl carnitine, with the CAS number 1935-18-8, is an ester formed from palmitic acid and carnitine. This compound is characterized by its role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, which is crucial for energy metabolism. It exists as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal amounts of both enantiomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. (±)-Palmitoyl carnitine is typically a white to off-white solid or powder, soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature due to the presence of both hydrophobic fatty acid and hydrophilic carnitine components. It is often studied for its potential applications in metabolic disorders, weight management, and athletic performance enhancement. Additionally, it may have implications in cellular signaling and membrane dynamics. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, although it is generally considered to have low toxicity.

Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine

CAS: 1935-18-8

Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine is a natural compound found in the body that plays an important role in energy metabolism. It has been shown to significantly increase intracellular calcium levels and activate the enzyme activity of phospholipase A2, which is responsible for the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine also has an effect on cellular energy metabolism by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and decreasing reactive oxygen species production. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine also protects against muscle cell death by inhibiting apoptosis and necrosis, which are usually triggered by pharmacological agents such as rotenone or bafilomycin A1.
