Product Information
Octadecyl trifluoroacetate is a fatty acid that can be used as an alternative to hexane. It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria, as well as the ability to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2. Octadecyl trifluoroacetate has been shown to bind to 5-ht2a receptors in tissues and locomotor activity assays, which may indicate its potential use for the treatment of infectious diseases. This compound has also been shown to affect fatty acid metabolism and profiles of active substances in cells.
