Product Information

• Name: Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine chloride is a fatty acid that is an important component of cellular membranes. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in rats and mice by increasing the concentration of diacylglycerol in the cell membrane, which leads to increased formation of procyanidins. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine chloride can also be used as an absorption enhancer for drugs and other compounds. The compound can be used to deliver drugs or other substances into cells, such as Caco-2 cells, for therapeutic purposes. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine chloride has been shown to increase the production of ornithine in cultured mouse fibroblasts, which may be due to its ability to enhance cellular carnitine levels.
