A novel class of esters of alkoxy-acylderivatives of carnitine, wherein the alkoxy-acyl radical has from 3 to 6 carbon atoms (typically: methoxyacetyl, methoxypropionyl, ethoxyacetyl, ethoxypropionyl and propoxyacetyl) is prepared by esterifying carnitine and then acylating the carnitine ester. Such esters are therapeutically useful in the treatment of cardiac disorders, hyperlipidaemias and hyperlipoproteinaemias. |
