Meldonium (CAT: R007504) is a synthetic structural analog of γ-butyrobetaine, the precursor of L-carnitine. It functions as a metabolic modulator by inhibiting γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase, thereby reducing L-carnitine biosynthesis and fatty acid oxidation while enhancing glucose utilization. Originally developed for cardiovascular indications, Meldonium improves myocardial energy metabolism, protects against ischemic injury, and enhances exercise tolerance. It has been investigated for its potential in treating angina, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases, as well as metabolic and neurological disorders. Owing to its bioenergetic effects, Meldonium is a valuable compound in cardiovascular and metabolic disease research.
