Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzoylcarnitine
DescriptionBenzoylcarnitine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Benzoylcarnitine is a member of the class of compounds known as acylcarnitines. Acylcarnitines are organic compounds containing a fatty acid with the carboxylic acid attached to carnitine through an ester bond. Acylcarnitines are useful in the diagnosis of genetic disorders such as fatty acid oxidation disorders and differentiation between biochemical phenotypes of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency disorders (PMID: 12385891 ). Benzoylcarnitine is a metabolite of benzoate and has been identified in the urine of hyperammonemia patients treated with sodium benzoate and L-carnitine (PMID: 2609332 ).
