Acetylcarnitine (acetyl-L-carnitine) is an acetylated form of L-carnitine, a naturally occurring molecule involved in the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation. It has been studied for its neuroprotective properties and potential therapeutic effects in neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, peripheral neuropathy, and depression. It is used as a dietary supplement and for some clinical indications in several countries, but not broadly approved as a prescription medication for CNS disorders in all regions.
