Etomoxir
An irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme CPT-1, which stops fatty acids from entering mitochondria to be burned. Developed in Germany from 1980 for type 2 diabetes, it was later studied in heart failure in the early 2000s. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Today it is used in laboratories to 'switch off' fat burning in cells, including cancer cells; of its two mirror-image forms only one, the (R) form, blocks the enzyme.
