CPT-I inhibitors: etomoxir, oxfenicine, perhexiline CPT-I (carnitine palmitoyl transferase) converts fatty acyl-CoA to fatty acyl-carnitine. Carnitine biosynthesis inhibitor: mildronate [1] 3-KAT inhibitors: trimetazidine 3-KAT (3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase) inhibitors directly inhibits fatty acid beta-oxidation.
