Product Information

• Name: Myristoyl-DL-carnitine chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Myristoyl-DL-carnitine chloride (MC) is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to form L-carnitine and myristic acid. The drug has been shown to be absorbed intranasally, and its absorption kinetics are enhanced by the presence of lipids. MC was found to increase the level of human growth hormone in Sprague-Dawley rats. It also decreased the amount of chloride excreted in the urine by inhibiting intestinal epithelial cells from absorbing chloride ions. This drug may be used as a nasal spray for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as chronic constipation.
