inhibition of individual carnitine acyltransferases may be useful in the therapy of diabetes and heart disease. Aminocarnitine (3) is a weak competitive inhibitor (K(i) = 4.0 mM) for carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT), although the N-acetyl derivative 4 is about 165 times more potent (K(i) = 0.024 mM) than 3. Compound 3 is also a potent competitive inhibitor for carnitinepalmitoyltransferases 1 and 2 (CPT-1
