Natural Product Identification
Common NameHeptadecanoyl carnitine
DescriptionHeptadecanoyl carnitine, also known as carnitine heptadecanoate or C17 carnitine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyl carnitines. These are organic compounds containing a fatty acid with the carboxylic acid attached to carnitine through an ester bond. Thus, heptadecanoyl carnitine is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. An O-acylcarnitine in which the acyl group is specified as heptadecanoyl. Heptadecanoyl carnitine was first documented in 2005 (PMID: 15653102). Heptadecanoyl carnitine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 18678604) (PMID: 26368264).
