The esters of (R)(-)-carnitine and acyl (R)(-)-carnitines with beta-hydroxybutiric acid in the form of pharmacologically acceptable salts of formula (I)
wherein X⁻ is the anion of a pharmacologically acceptable salt, e.g. chloride, bromide, orotate, acid aspartate, acid citrate, acid phosphate, acid fumarate, lactate, acid maleate, acid oxalate, acid sulfate and glucosephosphate or in the form of inner salts of formula (I′)
wherein R is hydrogen or a straight or branched acyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, such as e.g. acetyl, propionyl, n-butyryl, isobutyryl and isovaleryl, are active in inhibiting neuronal degeneration (as it occurs in Alzheimer's senile dementia and Parkinson's disease), liver proteolysis and in the treatment of coma.
(R)(-)-卡尼汀和酰基(R)(-)-卡尼汀与β-羟基丁酸的酯,其形式为药理学上可接受的式(I)盐
其中 X-是药理学上可接受的盐的阴离子,例如氯化物、溴化物、乳清酸盐、酸天冬氨酸盐、酸柠檬酸盐、酸磷酸盐、酸富马酸盐、乳酸盐、酸马来酸盐、酸草酸盐、酸硫酸盐和葡萄糖磷酸盐,或以式(I′)内盐的形式存在
其中 R 为氢或具有 2 至 5 个碳原子的直链或支链酰基,如乙酰基、丙酰基、正丁酰基、异丁酰基和异戊酰基,它们在抑制神经元变性(如发生在阿尔茨海默氏症老年痴呆症和帕金森氏症中)、肝脏蛋白分解和治疗昏迷方面具有活性。
