Propionyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring carnitine derivative formed by carnitine acetyltransferase during β-oxidation of uneven chain fatty acids.{24843} Propionyl-L-carnitine increases the basal release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (Item No. 15210) in carrageenan-stimulated isolated rat peritoneal cells contaminated with neutrophils and increases the basal release of thromboxane B2 (TXB2; Item No. 19030) in non-contaminated cells.{24843} It reduces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreases the expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), NOX4, and ICAM-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). It also increases the rate of revascularization and the hind limb vascular area in a rabbit model of hind limb ischemia when administered at a dose of 10 mg per animal.{47116} Propionyl-L-carnitine reduces mitochondrial dysfunction induced by ischemia, preventing mitochondrial calcium overload, and depletion of ATP tissue stores in a rabbit model of ischemia.{47117}

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
