Fatty Acids

Manumycin A is a polyketide antibiotic and an inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR-1). Manumycin A can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells and exert its anti-tumor activity through LC3. Manumycin A can downregulate the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human monocytes stimulated by TNF α, and has potential anti-inflammatory activity. Manumycin A can inhibit the Ras/Raf/ERK1/2 signaling and hnRNP H1 in castration resistant prostate cancer cells to suppress exosome biogenesis and secretion.

(E)-Crotonic acid is an endogenous metabolite.

Heptadecanoic acid is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid (OCS-FA) with oral activity. Heptadecanoic acid can inhibit cell proliferation and induce Apoptosis. Heptadecanoic acid has antitumor activity. Heptadecanoic acid is associated with a number of diseases, including coronary heart disease, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.

Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium is an acyl-CoA thioester that can be transported into the mitochondrial matrix via the carnitine shuttle system and is involved in β-oxidation. Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium can also be used as a substrate for sphingosine biosynthesis.

N-Arachidonylglycine (NA-Gly), a carboxylic analog of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA), is a GPR18 agonist (EC₅₀ = 44.5 nM). Unlike AEA, N-Arachidonylglycine has no activity at either CB1 or CB2 receptors. N-Arachidonylglycine inhibits GLYT2 (IC₅₀ = 5.1 μM). N-Arachidonylglycine also is an effective activator of endometrial cell migration.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is known as one of the most potent chemoattractants and activators of leukocytes and is involved in inflammatory diseases. Leukotriene B4 is also an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs.

Oxoadipic acid is a key intermediate metabolite in the lysine degradation pathway. The level of Oxoadipic acid is significantly negatively correlated with the abundance of Staphylococcus. That is, the higher the abundance of Staphylococcus-a potential pathogenic bacterium that usually increases in ulcerative colitis-the lower the level of Oxoadipic acid. Oxoadipic acid can be used in the research of ulcerative colitis.

2-Oxobutanoic acid is a product in the enzymatic cleavage of cystathionine.

L-Threonic acid magnesium (Magnesium L-threonate) is the enantiomer of Threonic acid and the metabolite of vitamin C (HY-B0166). L-Threonic acid magnesium is a magnesium supplementation, that improves the brain magnesium concentration, inhibits the activation of TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway. L-Threonic acid magnesium can be used in research of Alzheimer’s disease. L-Threonic acid magnesium is orally active.

Elaidic acid is an orally active trans fatty acid. Elaidic acid enhances the stemness of colorectal cancer cells by activating the Wnt/ERK1/2 pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis, and inhibiting apoptosis. Elaidic acid also inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus and alters the cell surface hydrophobicity of Lactobacillus. Elaidic acid reduces basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake in muscle cells and adipocytes. Elaidic acid can be used in research on colorectal cancer, insulin and other related areas.

Aminoadipic acid is an orally active lysine oxide derivative. Aminoadipic acid induces ROS generation, increases free Ca²⁺, decreases SOD, and activates TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway. Aminoadipic acid has pro-inflammatory effects. Aminoadipic acid can be used in atherosclerosis research.

5-Aminovaleric acid is believed to act as a methylene homologue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and functions as a weak GABA agonist.

Nonanoic acid (Pelargonic acid) is a naturally-occurring saturated fatty acid with nine carbon atoms. Nonanoic acid significantly reduces bacterial translocation, enhances antibacterial activity, and remarkably increases the secretion of porcine β-defensins 1 (pBD-1) and pBD-2.

D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid ((R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate) is the principal metabolite accumulating in neurometabolic disease D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a weak competitive antagonist of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) and inhibits multiple α-KG-dependent dioxygenases with a K_i of 10.87 mM. D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid binds and inhibits ATP synthase and inhibits mTOR signaling.

α-Hydroxyglutaric acid (2-Hydroxyglutarate) is an α-hydroxy acid form of glutaric acid. α-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a competitive inhibitor of multiple α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and the TET family of 5-methlycytosine (5mC) hydroxylases.

3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid. 3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid activates GPR84 and promotes IL-12 production. 3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid has anticancer activity against colon cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma.

Myristoleic acid, a cytotoxic component in the extract from Serenoa repens, induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells.

Lactic acid, Biotin labeled (DL-Lactic acid, Biotin labeled) is the biotin labeled Lactic acid (HY-B2227). Lactic acid-Biotin can be conjugated to streptavidin for purification.

Oleoylcarnitine, the metabolite which accumulates through suppression of fatty acid β-oxidation, can enhance hepatocarcinogenesis via STAT3 activation.

Docosapentaenoic acid (22n-3) is a component of phospholipids. Docosapentaenoic acid 22n-3 has inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, with IC₅₀s value of 17 μg/mL and 22 μg/mL, respectively. Docosapentaenoic acid 22n-3 increases cell vitality. Docosapentaenoic acid 22n-3 has a weak anti-inflammatory effect.
