Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

The best known trimetazidine mechanism of action is its capacity to inhibit β-oxidation of free fatty acid (FFA) [1]. FFA oxidation provides more energy, but it is associated with increased oxygen consumption

Pharmacokinets

Trimetazidine inhibits beta-oxidation of fatty acids by blocking long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, which enhances glucose oxidation. In an ischaemic cell, energy obtained during glucose oxidation requires less oxygen consumption than in the beta-oxidation process.
