16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid

Description:

16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, also known as 16-hydroxy palmitic acid, is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 16th carbon of the hexadecanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is a saturated fatty acid, which means it contains no double bonds in its carbon chain, contributing to its stability and melting point. The hydroxyl group introduces unique properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, surfactants, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, influencing lipid metabolism and cellular functions. Its chemical formula is C16H32O3, and it is often studied for its role in biochemistry and potential industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is a fatty acid that contains 16 carbons and 2 hydroxyl groups. It can be found in rat liver microsomes, where it binds to the cytochrome P450 enzyme, inhibiting its activity. The structural analysis of this compound has been shown to have intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen atoms and the oxygen atoms in the hydroxyl group. 16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid also exhibits phase transition temperatures, which are increased by adding water molecules. This compound also has an inhibitory effect on recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes from p. pastoris and can be used as a substrate for methyl myristate metabolism. In addition, 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid binds to dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and fluoresces when excited at 340 nm using a fluorescence detector.
