Palmitoylcarnitine
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Palmitoylcarnitine is a C16:0 long-chain acylcarnitine and an intermediate product of fatty acid oxidation. The level of Palmitoylcarnitine in human prostate cancer tissues is higher than that in non-cancerous tissues. Palmitoylcarnitine can be used in studies related to lipid metabolism associated with prostate cancer.

Description
In Vitro
Palmitoylcarnitine accumulates at significantly higher levels in human prostate cancer tissues than in non-cancerous prostate tissues[1].
Palmitoylcarnitine (0-100 μM; 24 h) exerts no effect on the viability of normal human PNT1A prostate epithelial cells even at concentrations up to 100 μM, but reduces the viability of human PC3 prostate adenocarcinoma cells at concentrations ≥50 μM[1].
Palmitoylcarnitine (0-100 μM; 24 h) promotes IL-6 secretion in human PC3 prostate adenocarcinoma cells at a concentration of 50 μM, but exerts no effect on IL-6 secretion in human PNT1A normal prostate epithelial cells or human LnCaP prostate adenocarcinoma cells even at concentrations up to 100 μM[1].
Palmitoylcarnitine (50-100 μM; 24 h) upregulates IL-6 gene expression in human PNT1A normal prostate epithelial cells and human PC3 prostate adenocarcinoma cells, with a stronger response observed in PC3 cells[1].
Palmitoylcarnitine (5-50 μM; 5 min post-treatment) induces rapid, dose-dependent Ca2+ influx in human PC3 prostate adenocarcinoma cells, but exerts no effect on Ca2+ influx in human PNT1A normal prostate epithelial cells, human BPH-1 benign prostatic hyperplasia cells, or human DU145 prostate adenocarcinoma cells[1].
Palmitoylcarnitine (50 nM-5 μM; 8 h) induces a DHT-like gene expression response in human PNT1A normal prostate epithelial cells, with the highest degree of overlap (169 shared genes total) observed at the 5 μM concentration, involving pathways such as glycolysis, cytokine signaling, and apoptosis regulation[1].

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% EtOH 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.50 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% EtOH 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% EtOH 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.50 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
