Octacosanoic acid
Octacosanoic acid is a very-long-chain fatty acid found in human brain and visceral organs (PMID:2474624). Octacosanoic acid is a higher aliphatic primary acids purified from sugar-cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) wax that has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation induced ex vivo by addition of agonists to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) of rats, guinea pigs, and healthy human volunteers. (PMID:5099499). Octacosanoic acid is formed from octacosanol via beta-oxidation. (PMID:15847942). Octacosanoic acid is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is octacosane in which one of the terminal methyl groups has been oxidised to the corresponding carboxy group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and an ultra-long-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of an octacosanoate. Octacosanoic acid is a natural product found in Lysimachia patungensis, Rhizophora apiculata, and other organisms with data available. A straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is octacosane in which one of the terminal methyl groups has been oxidised to the corresponding carboxy group. Octacosanoic acid is a very-long-chain fatty acid found in human brain and visceral organs (PMID: 2474624)
Behenic acid
Behenic acid, also known as docosanoate or 1-docosanoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. Very long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Thus, behenic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Behenic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Behenic acid can be found in a number of food items such as rice, opium poppy, pepper (c. frutescens), and gram bean, which makes behenic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Behenic acid can be found primarily in blood, feces, and urine. Behenic acid (also docosanoic acid) is a carboxylic acid, the saturated fatty acid with formula C21H43COOH. In appearance, it consists of white to cream color crystals or powder with a melting point of 80 °C and boiling point of 306 °C . Behenic acid, also docosanoic acid, is a normal carboxylic acid, a fatty acid with formula C21H43COOH. It is an important constituent of the behen oil extracted from the seeds of the Ben-oil tree, and it is so named from the Persian month Bahman when the roots of this tree were harvested. Behenic acid has been identified in the human placenta (PMID:32033212). Docosanoic acid is poorly absorbed, and a cholesterol-raising saturated fatty acid in humans. Docosanoic acid is poorly absorbed, and a cholesterol-raising saturated fatty acid in humans.
Hexacosanoic acid
Hexacosanoic acid, also known as N-hexacosanoate or c26:0, is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. Very long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Thus, hexacosanoic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Hexacosanoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hexacosanoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as dandelion, potato, cottonseed, and sugar apple, which makes hexacosanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hexacosanoic acid can be found primarily in blood, as well as in human adrenal gland and fibroblasts tissues. Hexacosanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, hexacosanoic acid is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include adrenoleukodystrophy, x-linked and beta oxidation of very long chain fatty acids. Hexacosanoic acid is also involved in carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency, which is a metabolic disorder. Moreover, hexacosanoic acid is found to be associated with adrenomyeloneuropathy, peroxisomal biogenesis defect, and adrenoleukodystrophy, neonatal. Hexacosanoic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Cerotic acid is also a type of very long chain fatty acid that is often associated with the disease adrenoleukodystrophy, which involves the excessive saturation of unmetabolized fatty acid chains, including cerotic acid, in the peroxisome. [In the chem box it is shown folded only because of lack of space. In fact, it is a straight-chain, saturated fatty acid.] . Treatment options for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) are limited. Dietary treatment is with Lorenzos oil. For the childhood cerebral form, stem cell transplant and gene therapy are options if the disease is detected early in the clinical course. Adrenal insufficiency in ALD patients can be successfully treated (T3DB). Hexacosanoic acid, or cerotic acid, is a 26-carbon long-chain saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)24COOH. It is most commonly found in beeswax and carnauba wax, and is a white crystalline solid. Cerotic acid is also a type of very long chain fatty acid that is often associated with the disease adrenoleukodystrophy, which involves the excessive saturation of unmetabolized fatty acid chains, including cerotic acid, in the peroxisome. Hexacosanoic acid, also known as C26:0 or N-hexacosanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Hexacosanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexacosanoic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
