Tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) is a hypolipidemic antioxidant with immunomodulating properties involving activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). TTA exerts both hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects in psoriasis patients - TTA can be of therapeutic benefit for a subgroup of psoriatic patients. TTA may improve myocardial function in heart failure, potentially involving its ability to decrease the availability of free fatty acids in plasma and increase the myocardial proportion of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. TTA attenuates dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These effects may occur through mechanisms involving PPAR-alpha and PPAR-delta activation, resulting in increased mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation.

Route of Administration: Oral
In cultured human skeletal muscle cells (myotubes), 24-h preincubation with 100 uM of tetradecylthioacetic acid significantly enhanced production of [1-14C]CO2 from oxidation of [1-14C]oleic acid in a dose-responsive manner.
