Produktinformation

• Name: Arachidic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 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
