Descrizione

16-Mercaptohexadecanoic acid (16MHDA) is a fatty acid that has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid synthase. This enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives, which are key components of cell membranes and also act as signaling molecules. 16MHDA can be used in the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. 16MHDA has been shown to have a high detection sensitivity and activity index when used in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. The x-ray diffraction data show that 16MHDA forms an acid complex with its substrate, which is thought to be the reaction mechanism. Colloidal gold has been used to study the interaction between 16MHDA and DNA duplexes. This compound was also found to have monoclonal antibody binding properties in human serum samples.
