L(-)-Carnitine 541-15-1 Usage

L-carnitine, also known as L-carnitine and vitamin BT, the chemical formula is C7H15NO3, the chemical name is (R)-3-carboxyl-2-hydroxy-n, N, n-trimethylammonium propionate hydroxide internal salt, and the representative drug is L-carnitine. It is a kind of amino acid that promotes the conversion of fat into energy. L-carnitine is essential for fatty acid metabolism and proper mitochondrial function. It is an amino acid derivative naturally produced by the body and obtained from the diet, especially from red meat. Clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of L-carnitine in relieving fatigue. Carnitine supplementation is actively used for the treatment of CFS, fatigue caused by chemotherapy, fatigue in the elderly, and fatigue caused by different neurological diseases . 

Definition

ChEBI: The (R)-enantiomer of carnitine.

Brand name

Carni tor (Sigma-Tau).

Therapeutic Function

Appetite stimulant

Purification Methods

The S(L) isomer is levocarnitine, Vitamin B7. The R or S isomers crystallise from EtOH/Me2CO (hygroscopic). The R or S hydrochlorides crystallise from hot EtOH or EtOH/Et2O and have m 142o(dec). The RS-isomer crystallises from hot EtOH (hygroscopic). The RS hydrochloride crystallises in needles from hot EtOH and has m 196o(dec).

Effects of L-carnitine supplementation on glucolipid metabolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Yanfei Li, Yuchen Xie, Chensheng Qiu,Bowen Yu,Fangzheng Yang,Yuanchao Cheng,Weizhen Zhong and Junhua Yuan

Food & Function

L-carnitine supplementation has been utilized against glucolipid metabolism disruption. The current meta-analysis revealed that L-carnitine may have favorable effects on glucolipid profile, especially insulin, FBG, HOMA-IR, TG, TC, LDLc, and ALT levels.

Liver Lipidomics Analysis Revealed the Novel Ameliorative Mechanisms of L-Carnitine on High-Fat Diet-Induced NAFLD Mice

C Sun, Y Guo, P Cong, Y Tian, X Gao

Nutrients 2023, 15(6), 1359

The beneficial effects of L-carnitine on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were revealed in previous reports. Our study provides further evidence that L-carnitine treatment can effectively alleviate NAFLD in HFD-fed mice.

Diagnostics 2023, 13(7), 1341

Our study aimed to evaluate the association between gastric cancer (GC) and higher concentrations of the metabolites L-carnitine, γ-butyrobetaine (GBB) and gut microbiota-mediated trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the circulation. Our findings demonstrate the potential role of L-carnitine, GBB and TMAO in GC and suggest metabolic differences between genders.
