CAS 541-15-1

(-)-Carnitine

Description:

(-)-Carnitine, with the CAS number 541-15-1, is a quaternary ammonium compound that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids. It is a naturally occurring substance synthesized in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Characteristically, (-)-Carnitine is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. It exists as a zwitterion at physiological pH, possessing both a positive and a negative charge, which contributes to its solubility and biological activity. This compound is essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy production. Additionally, (-)-Carnitine has been studied for its potential benefits in enhancing exercise performance, supporting weight loss, and improving heart health. It is often available as a dietary supplement and is recognized for its safety profile, although individuals should consult healthcare professionals before use, especially those with underlying health conditions.

L-Carnitine

CAS: 541-15-1

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids. L-Carnitine has been shown to have antioxidant properties and can protect tissues against oxidative injury. It also plays an important role in energy metabolism, as well as the maintenance of mitochondrial functions. L-Carnitine has been used to treat atherosclerotic lesions in humans, kidney fibrosis, and blood sampling. L-Carnitine can be used to reduce the symptoms of hypoglycemia and has also been shown to inhibit the growth of infectious diseases such as Helicobacter pylori and Salmonella typhi, through scavenging of reactive oxygen radicals.
