Emeriamine [(R)-3-amino-4-trimethylaminobutyric acid], derived from a novel fungal metabolite "emericedin" [(R)-3-acetylamino-4-trimethylaminobutyric acid], was proved to be a strong and specific inhibitor of carnitine-dependent oxidation of long chain fatty acid (IC50; 3.2 X 10(-6)M) and its main inhibition site was shown to be carnitine palmitoyltransferase I located on the outer-surface of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Emeriamine also showed hypoglycemic and antiketogenic activities in a dose-dependent manner (1 - 10 mg/kg) when administered orally to fasted normal and diabetic animals.
Emeriamine [(R)-3-氨基-4-三甲基氨基丁酸],源自一种新型真菌代谢产物“emericedin” [(R)-3-乙酰氨基-4-三甲基氨基丁酸],被证明是长链脂肪酸肉碱依赖性氧化的强效特异性抑制剂(IC50;3.2×10^(-6)M),其主要抑制位点为位于线粒体内膜外表面的肉碱棕榈酰转移酶I。当对禁食的正常和糖尿病动物口服给药时,Emeriamine还以剂量依赖性方式(1 - 10 mg/kg)表现出降血糖和抗生酮活性。
