Description | Triheptanoin (Propane-1,2,3-triyl triheptanoate) is a synthetic medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) consisting of three odd-chain 7-carbon (heptanoate) fatty acids on a glycerol backbone. Triheptanoin can be used for the research of inherited metabolic disorders[1]. |

In Vivo | In long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD), Triheptanoin is used as an anaplerotic compound, acting as a source of calories and fatty acids to bypass the LC-FAOD enzyme deficiencies[1]. Triheptanoin can be used for the research of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T)[2]. Triheptanoin functions as an anaplerotic agent replenishing tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates by metabolism to heptanoate (C7) and subsequently acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA that feed into the TCA cycle to supply energy[2]. Triheptanoin mitigates brain ATP depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction, including respiration and redox balance in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, supporting the energy failure hypothesis for that disorder[2]. Triheptanoin (Mice were treated with Triheptanoin (35E%) for 10 days prior to pilocarpine injection to induce status epilepticus) preserved mitochondrial functions in the hippocampal formations of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) mice[3]. Animal Model: 7-8 week old male CD1 (35-40 g)[3] Dosage: 35E% oral Triheptanoin was mixed into mouse chow Administration: Given 35E% Triheptanoin treatment 10 days prior to SE induction Result: Preserved mitochondrial functions in SE mice. |
