Eicosanoic-2,2-d2 acid(9CI)

Description:
Eicosanoic-2,2-d2 acid, also known as docosanoic acid or behenic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C22H44O2. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 22 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. The "2,2-d2" designation indicates that two deuterium atoms are incorporated into the molecule, which is often used in research and analytical applications to trace metabolic pathways or study lipid behavior. Eicosanoic acid is typically found in various natural fats and oils, particularly in seed oils and animal fats. It is known for its high melting point and low solubility in water, making it a solid at room temperature. This fatty acid plays a role in various biological processes and is utilized in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and cosmetics. Its unique isotopic labeling allows for enhanced tracking in biochemical studies, providing insights into fatty acid metabolism and function in living organisms.
