  • Patent number: 11813258
    Abstract: Methods of treating mitochondrial fatty acid ?-oxidation and/or transport disorders arising from mutant proteins in the mitochondrial fatty acid ?-oxidation and transport metabolic pathways in patients are provided. The methods modulate the mitochondrial fatty acid ?-oxidation pathway at the last step so that the product of the mutant protein accumulates and stabilizes the mutant protein and/or the substrate(s)/product(s) of the down stream reactions accumulate and possibly bind to allosteric sites on the mutant protein to stabilize it. Trimetazidine pharmacodynamics function as such in the ?-oxidation pathway. Further, a synergistic effect is observed where trimetazidine and PPAR? agonist combination enhanced enzyme activity and presence significantly more than either alone.
