Description
A carnitine derivative; increases the basal release of PGE2 and 6-keto prostaglandin F1α in carrageenan-stimulated isolated rat peritoneal cells contaminated with neutrophils; increases the basal release of thromboxane B2 in non-neutrophil-contaminated carrageenan-stimulated isolated rat peritoneal cells; reduces the production of ROS and decreases NOX2, NOX4, and ICAM-1 expression in HUVECs; increases the rate of revascularization and the hind limb vascular area in a rabbit model of hind limb ischemia at 10 mg per animal
