Fatty Acids

Decanedioic acid is a straight-chain dicarboxylic acid. Dodecanedioic acid overcomes metabolic inflexibility in type 2 diabetes. Decanedioic acid prevents and reverses metabolic-associated liver disease and obesity. Decanedioic acid is associated with carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

trans-Vaccenic acid is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid (TFA). trans-Vaccenic acid inhibits nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell growth and induces apoptosis through the inhibition of Bad/Akt phosphorylation. trans-Vaccenic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of saturated fatty acid in the rumen and of conjugated Linoleic acid (CLA) at the tissue level. trans-Vaccenic acid exerts hypolipidemic effects in a rat model of obesity.

Octanoate, 99% sodium is an oily liquid with a slightly unpleasant rancid taste and used commercially in the production of esters used in perfumery and also in the manufacture of dyes. Octanoate, 99% sodium is also an orally active tremor-suppressing agent.

(±)-Jasmonic acid is an endogenous growth regulator closely related to plant resistance to abiotic stresses, used to activate defense responses to wounding, herbivory, and pathogen attacks. (±)-Jasmonic acid does not play an independent regulatory role, but works in a complex signaling network with other plant hormone signaling pathways. In addition, (±)-Jasmonic acid can also reduce chlorophyll levels in green and etiolated barley leaf segments and inhibit the elongation of rice seedlings.

3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is a five-carbon ketone body byproduct that can undergo an anaplerotic reaction to replenish the intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is one of the important monomers for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHA is a type of biodegradable plastic that is widely used in environmentally friendly packaging, disposable products, and medical materials.

10-Nitrooleic acid (CXA-10), a nitro fatty acid, has potential effects in disease states in which oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and/or direct tissue toxicity play significant roles.

Ascorbyl palmitate is an orally active ester formed from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid, used as an antioxidant and food additive. Ascorbyl palmitate in preventing fat and oil oxidation is more efficient than Butylated hydroxyanisole (HY-B1066) and Butylated hydroxytoluene (HY-Y0172). Ascorbyl palmitate mitigates inhibition of collagen synthesis by select calcium and sodium channel blockers. Ascorbyl palmitate induces Apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Ascorbyl palmitate ameliorates inflammatory diseases by inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Lipoxin A4 (LXA4), an endogenous lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoid mediator, has potent dual pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory properties. Lipoxin A4 inhibits proliferation and inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production of human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) associated with the ERK1/2 and NF-kB pathways. Lipoxin A4 inhibits serum amyloid A (SAA)-mediated IL-8 release with an IC₅₀ value of 25.74 nM.

Capsaicin (Purity 65%) is a mixture of Capsaicin and Dihydrocapsaicin (Ratio >2:1). Capsaicin (Purity 65%) is an orally active capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) agonist.

DL-β-Hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A lithium is an intermediate in the fermentation of butyric acid and the metabolism of lysine and tryptophan, and is produced from β-hydroxybutyric acid by short-chain-CoA synthase.

Suberic acid (Octanedioic acid) is an orally active crystalline dibasic acid. Suberic acid activates the Akt signaling pathway and regulates the expression of molecules related to the TGF-β and MAPK signaling pathways. Suberic acid inhibits skin dryness.

Hexacosanoic acid is a very long-chain fatty acid. Abnormally elevated levels of Hexacosanoic acid are closely associated with various diseases, such as X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, adrenomyeloneuropathy, atherosclerosis, and dementia.

10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) is an orally active unsaturated medium-chain fatty acid with various physiological activities. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid induces ROS-mediated apoptosis in A549 cells. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis in human venous endothelial cells. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid alleviates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by activating the AMPK-α signaling pathway. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid protects against bone loss by inhibiting NF-κB signaling downstream of FFAR4. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is an antibiotic against many bacteria and fungi, such as Neurospora sitophila, molds and Staphylococcus aureus. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid has longevity-promoting effects in C. elegans. 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid prevents osteoarthritis by targeting aspartyl β hydroxylase and inhibiting chondrocyte senescence.

Eicosadienoic acid is a rare, naturally occurring n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid found mainly in animal tissues.

Glycolic acid is an inhibitor of tyrosinase, suppressing melanin formation and lead to a lightening of skin colour.

5-Hexynoic acid (Hex-5-ynoic acid) is an alkynoic acid. 5-Hexynoic acid serves as a drug intermediate for the synthesis of 3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenone.

Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate is a precursor of pantothenic acid in Escherichia coli.

Synaptamide (Dehydroepiandrosteron; DHEA) is an endogenous metabolite and structural analogue of Anandamide. Synaptamide binds to both the cannabinoid-1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2) cannabinoid receptors and has anti-inflammatory properties. Synaptamide is the first small-molecule endogenous ligand of an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) .

15(S)-HPETE is a precursor of 15(S)-HETE (HY-113336). 15(S)-HPETE is a product of Arachidonic acid (HY-109590) in the 15-lipoxygenase pathway. 15(S)-HPETE reduces Bcl-2, Akt, and phosphorylated Akt protein levels. 15(S)-HPETE induces Apoptosis. 15(S)-HPETE antagonizes the angiogenic effects of 15(S)-HETE. 15(S)-HPETE exhibits antitumor effects against chronic myeloid leukemia. 15(S)-HPETE can be used in adipose tissue explant studies.

Undecanoic acid (Undecanoate) is a monocarboxylic acid with antifungal property. Undecanoic acid inhibits the production of exocellular keratinase, lipase and the biosynthesis of several phospholipids in T. rubrum.
