Octanoylcarnitine

Overview

Octanoylcarnitine is an orally active medium-chain acylcarnitine transport intermediate in fatty acid β-oxidation. Octanoylcarnitine is converted to octanoyl-CoA by carnitine acetyltransferase ( CrAT ), which then generates energy via β-oxidation in mitochondria of the heart and skeletal muscle. Octanoylcarnitine enhances grip strength and treadmill endurance, alleviates lactic acidosis, distributes in muscle and heart tissues, increases free carnitine levels, and mitigates mitochondrial stress. Octanoylcarnitine is associated with long-chain fatty acid metabolism, shows a positive correlation with subcutaneous fat area in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and is closely related to central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).
