(S)-(+)-Etomoxir
(S)-(+)-Etomoxir is the S enantiomer of Etomoxir, an irreversible inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT-1a). This compound effectively inhibits fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by targeting CPT-1a, thereby reducing palmitate β-oxidation in human, rat, and guinea pig tissues. (S)-(+)-Etomoxir is widely used in research related to metabolism, obesity, and diabetes to explore the role of fatty acid metabolism in various physiological and pathological conditions.
