<IMAGE> Acetyldicarnitine dichloride activates the proteic metabolism and stimulates digestive secretions, displaying an anabolic and antianorexic action. It is also active on the senile and pre-senile cerebral involution syndromes and on cardiopathies. It may be prepared from carnitine chloride either (i) by treatment with thionyl chloride to form the intermolecular ester, dicarnitine dichloride, followed by acetylation or (ii) by esterification using the acyl chloride obtained from acetylcarnitine chloride by treatment with thionyl chloride. Pharmaceutical compositions containing it are described. |
