Sterculic acid
Sterculic acid, also known as 2-octyl-1-cyclopropene-1-octanoic acid or 8-(2-octyl-cycloprop-1-enyl)-octansaeure, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, sterculic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Sterculic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Sterculic acid can be found in peanut and roselle, which makes sterculic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Sterculic acid is a long-chain, monounsaturated fatty acid composed of 9-octadecenoic acid having a 9,10-cyclopropenyl group. It is a cyclopropenyl fatty acid, a long-chain fatty acid and a monounsaturated fatty acid. It is functionally related to an octadec-9-enoic acid. Sterculic acid is a natural product found in Hibiscus syriacus, Amaranthus cruentus, and other organisms with data available.
chaulmoogric acid
A monounsaturated long-chain fatty acid composed of tridecanoic acid having a 2-cyclopentenyl substituent at the 13-position.
Malvalic acid
Malvalic acid, also known as 2-octyl-1-cyclopropene-1-heptanoic acid or 8,9-methylen-8-heptadecensaeure, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Thus, malvalic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Malvalic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Malvalic acid can be found in peanut and roselle, which makes malvalic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Malvalic acid is a cyclopropenic fatty acid found in cottonseed oil. The cyclopropene ring is thought to be one of the causes of abnormalities that develop in animals that ingest cottonseed oil. This reactivity could be cause for concern depending on concentration. Hydrogenation of the oil destroys malvalic acid .

Hydnocarpic acid
An optically active form of hydnocarpic acid having (R)-configuration. A cyclopentenyl fatty acid consisting of undecanoic acid having a cyclopent-2-enyl group at the 11-position.
MALVALIC ACID
A long-chain cyclopropenyl fatty acid comprising 8-heptadecenoic acid having a cyclopropene ring arising from the linking of C-8 and C-9 by a methylene substituent.
11-cyclopentylundecanoic acid
A carbocyclic fatty acid that is undecanoic acid substituted by a cyclopentyl group at position 11.
