General description

Etomoxir (ETO), an irreversible inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1), primarily impacts fatty acid oxidation. It is an epoxide-based medium-chain fatty acid used to study the biological effects of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation. ETO shifts energy metabolism from fatty acids to glucose oxidation. Its mechanism of action involves reducing the transport of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) into the mitochondrial matrix, which subsequently reduces the substrate available for β-oxidation.

Application

Etomoxir has been used in:
  • the evaluation of long-chain fatty acid respiration in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes using SeaHorse instrument
  • cell stimulation experiments to study its effects on fatty acid oxidation in metabolic syndrome-associated synoviocytes
  • Seahorse assays to assess fatty acid oxidation in cultured cells by inhibiting carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1)
