Información del producto

• Nombre: 5-(Z-Heptadec-8-enyl) resorcinol
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: 5-(Z-Heptadec-8-enyl) resorcinol is a condensed phenolic lipid, which is naturally sourced from members of the Anacardiaceae family, such as the Japanese lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum). Its unique structure, characterized by an alkylresorcinol backbone, contributes to its bioactivity. This compound exhibits antimicrobial properties through disruption of microbial cell membranes, which results from its amphipathic nature allowing for integration into lipid bilayers, thus compromising structural integrity. Beyond its antimicrobial action, 5-(Z-Heptadec-8-enyl) resorcinol is being explored for its potential applications in dermatology, particularly in formulations aimed at managing skin conditions associated with microbial infections. Furthermore, it shows promise in developing new preservative systems in various industrial contexts due to its efficacy in inhibiting microbial growth. Continued research into its mechanism and applications could broaden its use in pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals, offering an alternative to traditional synthetic preservatives while leveraging its natural origin.
