| (3S)-3-octanoyloxy-4-trimethylazaniumylbutanoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | Octanoyl-L-carnitine may be used as an analytical standard in the following:- Separation and identification of underivatized octanoyl-L-carnitine in human plasma samples using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).
- Quantification of the analyte in biological samples of patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-TQMS). The feasibility of adding L-carnitine to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution in APD-treated end-stage renal disease patients is investigated.
It may be used as a test material for investigating its rate of oxidation by mitochondria, isolated from the livers of fed, starved and glucagon treated virgin and lactating rats. | | Definition | ChEBI: The L-enantiomer of an O-octanoylcarnitine. | | General Description | Octanoyl-L-carnitine is a medium-chain endogenous ester of L-carnitine, obtained via acylcarnitine family transferase. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | L-Octanoylcarnitine is the physiologically active form of octanoylcarnitine and is detected in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. MCAD is characterized by intolerance to prolonged fasting, recurrent episodes of hypoglycemic coma with medium-chain dicarboxylic aciduria, impaired ketogenesis, and low plasma and tissue carnitine levels. |
