406-76-8
Chemical Structure
(±)-Carnitine
Synonym(s): DL-Carnitine; DL-Levocarnitine
- CAS No.: 406-76-8
- Formula:C7H15NO3
- Molecular Weight:161.20
IUPAC Name: 3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylammonio)butanoate
InChIKey: PHIQHXFUZVPYII-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: C[N+](C)(C)CC(O)CC([O-])=O
Biological Activity: (±)-Carnitine (DL-Carnitine) is an orally effective racemic mixture of L-Carnitine (HY-B0399) and D-Carnitine. (±)-Carnitine elevates the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio in the presence of 1,3-butanediol (HY-77490A). (±)-Carnitine does not increase glucose and urea production from L-glutamine, but stimulates propionate gluconeogenesis in rat renal cortical slices, and significantly reduces hepatic ketone body levels in rats fed a diet containing 30% high fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol[1][2][3].
