Beschreibung

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.
