(±)-Acetylcarnitine chloride (Acetyl dl-carnitine chloride) is a weak cholinergic agonist with cholinergic properties. (±)-Acetylcarnitine chloride is an important intermediate in lipid metabolism.
体外研究
Large increases of Acetylcarnitine concentration during the flight of the blowfly and the presence of an active Acetylcarnitine transferase indicate that Acetylcarnitine is important in carbohydrate metabolism. Acetylcarnitine has been synthesized by the choline acetylase system isolated from brain tissue and is destroyed by cholinesterase.
体内研究
In rats, the infusion of 2 mg (±)-Acetylcarnitine chloride decreases blood flow through the hind limb vasculature 50%. (±)-Acetylcarnitine chloride also potentiates the inhibitory effect of adrenaline on the isolated rabbit duodenum.
