CAS 506-30-9

Eicosanoic acid

Description:

Eicosanoic acid, also known as arachidic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C20H40O2. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 20 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. Eicosanoic acid is typically found in various natural fats and oils, particularly in certain plant and animal lipids. It is a solid at room temperature and has a high melting point due to its long carbon chain, which contributes to its waxy texture. This fatty acid is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Eicosanoic acid plays a role in the formation of waxes and is used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and cosmetics. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of bioactive lipids involved in various physiological processes. Its CAS number, 506-30-9, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.

Arachidic acid

CAS: 506-30-9

Arachidic acid is a saturated fatty acid that is found in the form of esters in animal and vegetable oils. It has been shown to have growth factor activity, which may be due to its ability to activate protein kinase C and increase intracellular calcium levels. Arachidonic acid also has antiviral properties, as it inhibits HIV infection by inhibiting enzymatic inactivation of sodium salts. This compound can be used as a pharmaceutical preparation by incorporating it into water-vapor-sensitive preparations or using an FTIR spectroscopy technique. Arachidic acid undergoes phase transition at a temperature of 54°C and melts at about -4°C. The melting point varies depending on the length of its acyl chain, with longer chains corresponding to higher melting points. The reaction mechanism for arachidic acid is the same as for other fatty acids: acyl chain reacts with boron nitride, forming an ester that releases carthamus
