Optical Activity ( + / - )

Methyl palmoxirate, an oral hypoglycemic agent, was studied as a selective and irreversible inhibitor of the mitochondrial enzyme carnitine palmitoyltransferase and of long-chain fatty acid oxidation to treat diabetes. In addition, this compound was used to study the brain lipid metabolism by quantitative autoradiography or positron emission tomography (PET).
