Common Namealcar
DescriptionDL-Acetylcarnitine 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, DL-acetylcarnitine is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. alcar is found in Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata and Trypanosoma brucei. DL-Acetylcarnitine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
