N-Myristoylethanolamine

Description:
N-Myristoylethanolamine, with the CAS number 142-58-5, is an amide derived from myristic acid and ethanolamine. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is characterized by its hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. N-Myristoylethanolamine is known for its ability to enhance skin penetration of active ingredients, which is beneficial in topical formulations. Additionally, it exhibits potential bioactivity, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which may contribute to its utility in personal care products. The compound is generally stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity. As with many amides, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases, leading to the release of ethanolamine and myristic acid.
