Bioactivity | Etomoxir((R)-(+)-Etomoxir) sodium salt is an irreversible inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT-1a), inhibits fatty acid oxidation (FAO) through CPT-1a and inhibits palmitate β-oxidation in human, rat and guinea pig[1]. |
Invitro | Etomoxir mediates differential metabolic channeling of fatty acid and glycerol precursors into cardiolipin in H9c2 cells[2].Etomoxir does not affect the activities of the cardiolipin biosynthetic and remodeling enzymes but causes a reduction in [1-14C]palmitic acid or [1-14C]oleic acid incorporation into cardiolipin[2].Etomoxir increases [1,3-3H]glycerol incorporation into cardiolipin. The mechanism is a 33% increase in glycerol kinase activity, which produces an increased glycerol flux through the de novo pathway of cardiolipin biosynthesis[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
