Butyryl-L-carnitine chloride
(R)-Butyryl Carnitine is a potential prodrug of Carnitine, via the carnitine transporter OCTN2 and the amino acid transporter ATB0,+. It is an inhibitor of intestinal transporters, which block carnitine uptake by the carnitine transporter with IC50s of 1.5 µM and glycine transport with IC50s of 4.6 µM in in human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cells. Butyryl-L-carnitine is used for treating seizure disorders.
