(+)-Decanoylcarnitine is an (S)-acylcarnitine derivative and a potent inhibitor of carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase, with an IC50 of 5 μM. (+)-Decanoylcarnitine acts as a competitive inhibitor of long-chain acylcarnitine transferase and (-)-carnitine palmityltransferase. (+)-Decanoylcarnitine blocks hepatic fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis, oleate-induced activation of gluconeogenesis, as well as associated changes in acetyl-CoA, citrate, redox pair ratios, flavins and pyridine nucleotides. (+)-Decanoylcarnitine reverses ketosis in vivo, enhances insulin-mediated hypoglycemic effects in anesthetized animals, and reduces plasma ketone body levels when used in combination with insulin. (+)-Decanoylcarnitine can be used in studies related to diabetic ketoacidosis .
