Carnitine chloride

Description:

Carnitine chloride, with the CAS number 461-05-2, is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from carnitine, an essential nutrient involved in fatty acid metabolism. It is typically presented as a white crystalline powder or a hygroscopic solid. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits a high degree of stability under normal conditions. Carnitine chloride plays a significant role in cellular energy production by facilitating the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy. It is often used in dietary supplements and has been studied for its potential benefits in enhancing athletic performance and supporting weight management. Additionally, it may have applications in clinical settings, particularly in the treatment of certain metabolic disorders. However, its use should be approached with caution, as excessive intake can lead to side effects. Overall, carnitine chloride is recognized for its biological significance and potential therapeutic applications, making it a compound of interest in both nutrition and pharmacology.

DL-Carnitine hydrochloride

CAS: 461-05-2

DL-Carnitine hydrochloride is a prodrug of the amino acid carnitine, which is synthesized by the liver. It is used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and primary carnitine deficiency. DL-Carnitine hydrochloride can be used to prevent fatigue during physical activity by increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in cells. This drug also increases fatty acid oxidation and facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation. DL-Carnitine hydrochloride stimulates the breakdown of triglycerides by activating lipoprotein lipase, which is an enzyme that breaks down fat in blood vessels. The drug also inhibits glycosidic bond formation and hydroxyl group polymerization, which are steps in the synthesis of glycogen, a form of sugar stored in muscle cells.
