Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride
Neuroprotective Agent
Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride is a neuroprotective agent that enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism and protects neuronal health. This compound penetrates the blood-brain barrier via the organic cation transporter OCTN2, facilitating its selective cellular uptake. Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride plays a crucial role in fatty acid β-oxidation, acetate donation for acetylcholine synthesis, and mitochondrial function regulation while inhibiting oxidative stress. Its applications are significant in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, depression, and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.
