Nervonic acid
Nervonic acid is a long chain unsaturated fatty acid that is enriched in sphingomyelin. It consists of choline, sphingosine, phosphoric acid, and fatty acid. Nervonic acid may enhance the brain functions and prevent demyelination (Chemical Land21). Research shows that there is negative relationship between nervonic acid and obesity-related risk factors (PMID:16394593). Demyelination in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is associated with an accumulation of very long chain saturated fatty acids stemming from a genetic defect in the peroxisomal beta oxidation system responsible for the chain shortening of these fatty acids. Sphingolipids from post mortem ALD brain have decreased levels of nervonic acid, 24:1(n-9), and increased levels of stearic acid, 18:0. (PMID:8072429). (15Z)-tetracosenoic acid is a tetracosenoic acid having a cis-double bond at position 15. It is a conjugate acid of a (15Z)-tetracosenoate. Nervonic acid is a natural product found in Tropaeolum speciosum, Calophyllum inophyllum, and other organisms with data available. Nervonic Acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid with a 24-carbon backbone and the sole double bond originating from the 9th carbon from the methyl end, with this bond in the cis- configuration.

Present in fish and rape seed oils Nervonic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid important in the biosynthesis of myelin. Nervonic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid important in the biosynthesis of myelin.
Ximenic acid
Ximenic acid is found in fats and oils. Ximenic acid is isolated from seed fat of Ximenia species and fish oil lipids. Isolated from seed fat of Ximenia subspecies and fish oil lipids. Ximenic acid is found in fats and oils and fishes.
17Z-hexacosenoic acid
17Z-hexacosenoic acid is also known as C26:1N-9 or 17cis-Hexacosenoate. 17Z-hexacosenoic acid is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and acidic. 17Z-hexacosenoic acid is a fatty acid lipid molecule
