| Targets |
L-Octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride targets the carnitine shuttle system and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. As an acylcarnitine, it facilitates the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation. It may help in enhancing fatty acid utilization and improving mitochondrial function in metabolic disorders. It has been studied in breast cancer research.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The rat liver mitochondria (RLM) emit H2O2 when exposed to 0.2 mM of L-octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride [1].
In vitro, L-Octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride is used to study fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and energy production. It serves as a substrate for enzymes involved in the carnitine shuttle. Its activity is measured by assessing fatty acid oxidation rates, mitochondrial respiration, and acylcarnitine levels in cultured cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In male mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), L-octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride base lowers respiratory conductance and mucosal and detrusor force-flow respiration [2].
In vivo, L-Octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride is a plasma metabolite and the physiologically active form of octanoyl-DL-carnitine. It is involved in fatty acid metabolism and energy production. It has been explored for potential therapeutic applications in metabolic disorders and breast cancer research. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays with L-Octanoylcarnitine hydrochloride typically involve studying carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) and other enzymes of the carnitine shuttle. The compound is used as a substrate to measure enzyme activity. Standard assays involve incubating with enzyme preparations and measuring products by spectrophotometric or radiometric methods.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
