MEDICA 16 Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
MEDICA 16 is a β,β''-
Uses
MEDICA 16 is a malic enzyme and mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase inducer.
Uses
MEDICA 16 is a β,β'-dimethyl hexadecanedioic acid which exhibits hypolipidemic and antidiabetogenic effects in the rat. In animals that were fed a diet which was 0.25% MEDICA 16 by weight, the hypolipidemic effect consisted of a 70-80% decrease in plasma chylomicrons and VLDL-triacylglycerols as well as a 40-60% decrease in plasma VLDL-cholestrol.
Definition
ChEBI: MEDICA 16 is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is hexadecanedioic acid carrying methyl groups at positions 3 and 14. It is a free fatty acid 1 (FFA1/GPR40) receptor agonist and an ATP citrate lyase inhibitor, and exhibits hypolipidemic and antidiabetogenic properties. It has a role as an antilipemic drug, an EC 6.4.1.2 (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor, an EC 2.3.3.8 (ATP citrate synthase) inhibitor, a G-protein-coupled receptor agonist and a hypoglycemic agent.
