Description

General description

Palmitoyl-L-carnitine (PLC) belongs to the class of long chain acylcarnitine compounds. It is an acyl-chain ester, which can be obtained from L-carnitine via acylcarnitine family transferase. PLC is reported to be used for the phospholipid reacylation in erythrocyte membrane ghosts.

Application

Palmitoyl-L-carnitine may be used as an analytical standard to quantify the analyte in biological samples of patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-TQMS). The feasibility of adding L-carnitine to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution in APD-treated end-stage renal disease patients is investigated. It may also be used as an analytical reference standard for the separation and identification of underivatized palmitoyl-L-carnitine in human plasma samples using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).
