MedKoo Cat#: 414860 | Name: Perhexiline free base

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Perhexiline is a prophylactic antianginal agent. Perhexiline is thought to act by inhibiting mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. This shifts myocardial metabolism from fatty acid to glucose utilisation which results in increased ATP production for the same O2 consumption and consequently increases myocardial efficiency. Its clinical use has been limited by its narrow therapeutic index and high inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability.
