(+)-Etomoxir is an irreversible inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, the mitochondrial enzyme involved in fatty acid β-oxidation (IC50 = 5-20 nM in rat liver).{26273,26271} By regulating fatty acid oxidation, (+)-etomoxir has the potential to affect ketogenesis, cholesterol synthesis, and gluconeogenesis.{26272,26275} (+)-Etomoxir has also been identified as a direct agonist of PPARα.{26273,26274}
