(±)-2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid

Description:

(±)-2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid, also known as 2-hydroxydodecanoic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon atom. This compound has a molecular formula of C12H24O3 and features both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it amphiphilic. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its solubility in water, while the long carbon chain enhances its lipophilicity. This dual nature allows it to function effectively as a surfactant and emulsifier in various applications, including cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceuticals. The compound can exist in two enantiomeric forms due to the chiral center at the second carbon, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. Additionally, (±)-2-hydroxydodecanoic acid may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in the development of preservatives and antimicrobial agents. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in its applications.

Applications (8Z,11Z,14Z)-8,11,14-Heptadecatrienoic Acid, is a naturally occurring hydroxylated fatty acid that is found in Acinetobacter species. It acts as a partial agonist of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1/GPR40) and GPR84 receptors in vitro. It also inhibits bovine hepatic ligase (Ki = 4.4 μM) and mouse kidney mitochondrial medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase by 48% at a concentration of 40 μM.
