Product Description
Isovalerylcarnitine chloride is a product of L-leucine catabolism and is a potent activator of human neutrophil calpain.
Isovalerylcarnitine chloride (CAS#: 139144-12-0) is a naturally occurring acylcarnitine formed via the metabolic conversion of L-leucine. It is a product of L-leucine catabolism and is a potent activator of human neutrophil calpain. This compound is involved in fatty acid metabolism and energy production within cells. It increases survival and decreases apoptosis in hepatocyte growth factor-deprived murine C2.8 hepatocytes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Calpain (human neutrophil calpain). Isovalerylcarnitine chloride is a potent activator of human neutrophil calpain, a Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease involved in various cellular processes including cell migration, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses. The compound is a product of L-leucine catabolism and an acylcarnitine that participates in fatty acid metabolism and energy production. It increases survival and decreases apoptosis in growth factor-deprived hepatocytes.
ln Vitro
Isovalerylcarnitine chloride is a potent activator of human neutrophil calpain. It increases survival and decreases apoptosis in hepatocyte growth factor-deprived murine C2.8 hepatocytes when used at a concentration of 1 mM. As an acylcarnitine, it is involved in fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism. The compound shows no other specific in vitro bioactivity data in the reference sources.
ln Vivo
No in vivo activity data for Isovalerylcarnitine chloride as a drug are provided in the reference sources. As an endogenous metabolite, it is present naturally in the body and is involved in normal metabolic processes. Exogenous administration might affect fatty acid metabolism and inflammatory responses, but these effects have not been detailed in the reference materials.
Enzyme Assay
Not explicitly detailed in reference sources. A typical calpain activity assay involves incubating purified human neutrophil calpain with a fluorogenic calpain substrate (e.g., Suc-LLVY-AMC) in the presence of Ca2+ and Isovalerylcarnitine chloride. Calpain activity is measured by the increase in fluorescence over time, with calpain activation confirmed by increased cleavage of the substrate.
Cell Assay
Not explicitly detailed in reference sources. A cell-based calpain activation assay would involve treating human neutrophils with Isovalerylcarnitine chloride (0.1-1000 microM) for 30-60 minutes, then measuring calpain activity using a cell-permeable fluorogenic calpain substrate or by detecting calpain-mediated cleavage of known substrates (e.g., talin, spectrin) by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
No animal experimental protocols for Isovalerylcarnitine chloride are provided in the reference sources. As an endogenous metabolite, studies would likely involve metabolic tracing or investigation of its role in L-leucine catabolism and its effects on inflammatory conditions where calpain activation is implicated, using rodent models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Isovalerylcarnitine chloride has a molecular weight of 281.78 and formula C12H24ClNO4. It is soluble in DMSO (≥100 mg/mL, 354.89 mM). In vitro solubility is high, and for in vivo formulation, co-solvent systems (e.g., 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% saline) can be used. Storage should be at -20degC as powder.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicity data for Isovalerylcarnitine chloride are provided in the reference sources. As an endogenous metabolite normally present in the body, it is likely well-tolerated at physiological levels. However, the safety of exogenous administration at supraphysiological doses has not been characterized. The compound is for research use only.

Additional Infomation
Isovalerylcarnitine chloride is an endogenous metabolite and research compound, not a drug candidate with approved indications. It serves as a tool for studying L-leucine metabolism, calpain activation, and acylcarnitine biology. Elevated levels of isovalerylcarnitine are observed in isovaleric acidemia, a metabolic disorder, making it a useful biomarker for this condition. The compound is also a potential biomarker for other metabolic diseases.
