                                        Comment: Palmoxiric acid is an orally active inhibitor of long-chain fatty acid oxidation with hypoglycemic activity. The major activity of this compound is as a carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT) inhibitor. The majority of the biological activity resides with the R enantiomer, which is converted to its CoA ester in vivo [1].
