2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid

Description:

2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, also known as 2-hydroxy palmitic acid, is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon of the hexadecanoic acid backbone. This compound has a molecular formula of C16H32O3 and features both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties due to its fatty acid structure and the presence of the hydroxyl group. It is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, it may play a role in biological systems, particularly in lipid metabolism and cellular signaling. Its safety profile should be considered in handling, as with many fatty acids, and it is important to follow appropriate guidelines for use in research or industrial applications.

Palmitic acid is a fatty acid that is found in animal and vegetable fats. It is also an important component of the cell membrane. Palmitic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of cell membranes, which are largely composed of lipids. Palmitic acid has been shown to be active against Gram-positive bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, as well as Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Palmitic acid can be used to produce monolayers for use in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These monolayers have been shown to have an effect on the rate at which glucose is transported across the surface of the membrane. Palmitic acid also inhibits glucosylceramide production in ganoderma lucidum, a type of fungus that causes plant diseases, by blocking
