Clomoxir
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.

In Vitro
Clomoxir (POCA) exerts multiple metabolic regulatory effects: its coenzyme A ester metabolite inhibits the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase in rat liver mitochondria; it suppresses de novo synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids in the liver, and blocks lactate- and pyruvate-mediated gluconeogenesis stimulated by oleic acid; it activates the pentose phosphate pathway in human fibroblasts[1].

In Vivo
Clomoxir lowers plasma NEFA and cholesterol concentrations by approximately 50% in rats[2].
