10-Oxoeicosanoic acid

Description:
10-Oxoeicosanoic acid, with the CAS number 818-24-6, is a fatty acid derivative characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain and a ketone functional group at the 10th carbon position. This compound typically features a 20-carbon backbone, which classifies it as a long-chain fatty acid. The presence of the ketone group introduces unique reactivity and properties compared to its saturated or unsaturated counterparts. It is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. 10-Oxoeicosanoic acid may play a role in various biological processes, including signaling pathways and lipid metabolism. Its structural characteristics allow it to participate in the formation of bioactive lipids, which can influence cellular functions. Additionally, this compound may be of interest in research related to inflammation, cell signaling, and the development of pharmaceuticals. As with many fatty acids, its behavior can be influenced by factors such as temperature and the presence of other chemical species.
