88431-47-4
Chemical Structure
Clomoxir
Synonym(s): POCA
- CAS No.: 88431-47-4
- Formula:C14H17ClO3
- Molecular Weight:268.74
IUPAC Name: 2-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)pentyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid
InChIKey: ACZKTJZXXSHIGF-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: O=C(O)C1(OC1)CCCCCC2=CC=C(Cl)C=C2
Biological Activity: Clomoxir (POCA) is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) inhibitor with hypoglycemic activity. Clomoxir mediates the inhibition of CPT I via its active form POCA-CoA. Clomoxir inhibits long-chain fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis, gluconeogenesis, de novo synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, and also mildly inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Clomoxir reduces blood glucose levels in various rodent and porcine models, alters plasma NEFA and cholesterol concentrations, induces hepatic lipid accumulation, peroxisome proliferation and mild myocardial hypertrophy in rats, and stimulates the pentose phosphate pathway in cultured human fibroblasts. Clomoxir can be used in diabetes-related research[1][2][3].
