Hexanes are a mixture of isomers that are present at physiological levels in the environment. The hexanes are hydrophobic and have minimal toxicity. They can be used as solvents for water-sensitive materials, such as proteins. This compound is used in the synthesis of amides and has been shown to form body structures with hydrophobic properties. Hexanes also have a minimal effect on cell function, which makes them useful as a model system for studying the effects of toxic chemicals on cells.
Hexane can be used to extract mcl-1 protein from cells, which helps regulate apoptosis or programmed cell death. The reaction solution for this extraction process may be toxic to the cells, so it is important to study its toxicity before using it in a model system. Thermodynamic data has been collected on n-hexane, which is one of the four isomers that make up hexanes. This data was collected by measuring heat capacity at constant pressure
