Hydrocarbons

(E)-β-Farnesene (trans-β-Farnesene) is an aphid alarm pheromone, which can be found in Phlomis aurea Decne essential oil. (E)-β-Farnesene shows good binding score with a value of -30.64 kcal/mol to the CDK2 receptor. (E)-β-Farnesene also exhibits good affinity to odorant-binding protein 3 (OBP3). (E)-β-Farnesene can be used as a feeding stimulant for the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis.

Hexadecane (n-Hexadecane; Cetane) is a long-chain n-alkane, oil component, and model hydrophobic compound. Hexadecane acts as a substrate for microbial degradation.Hexadecane induces microbial biosurfactant and bioemulsifier synthesis.

Dodecane (Ba 51-090453) is an ester product. Dodecane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon. Dodecane can result in a high TNF-α expression and transepidermal waterloss (TEWL).

Farnesene (mixture of isomers) is a farnesene with mixture of isomers. Farnesene is a herbivore-induced plant volatile (HIPV). Farnesene has an important effect on insect resistance in many plant species.

Pentadecane is an orally active natural plant volatile alkane with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and anti-leishmanial activities. Pentadecane presents IC₅₀ values of 65.3 μM, 60.5 μM and 194.8 μM against Leishmania infantum promastigotes, amastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, respectively. Pentadecane downregulates the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-12 and inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators. Pentadecane arrests the cell cycle of Leishmania infantum and induces apoptosis. Pentadecane can be applied to the research of inflammation and leishmaniasis.

4-Methyldecane is a branched saturated hydrocarbon found in the Dufour gland of Formica lemani workers.

Tetradecane (n-Tetradecane) is a low-temperature phase change material with a phase change temperature of 5°C and a latent heat of phase change of 220 J/g. Tetradecane undergoes solid-liquid phase transition around 5°C, and achieves temperature regulation by absorbing or releasing latent heat.

Heneicosane is a royal-specific pheromone of insects (such as subterranean termites) and is an identification signal for queens and kings in termites. Heneicosane mediates royal recognition and the maintenance of social division of labor by being sensed by worker ants and triggering vibrations and antennal behaviors. Heneicosane can exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators (such as prostaglandins and cytokines). At the same time, Heneicosane can also inhibit the mycelial growth of aflatoxin-producing fungi and inhibit the production of aflatoxin. Heneicosane can be used in insect chemical ecology research to analyze the regulatory mechanism of termite social behavior, and is also a potential target for new anti-inflammatory drugs.

(E/Z)-Geranylacetone is an organic compound commonly used as an ingredient in fragrances and fragrances. It can be used in some products such as perfumes, soaps and cosmetics, and can bring a fresh aromatic smell. In addition, the compound is used in some foods and pharmaceuticals, for example in candy, chewing gum and herbal remedies.

Docosane is a straight-chain alkane. Docosane can be used to synthesize structural composites with thermal energy storage/release capabilities. Docosane can also be used to prepare thermosensitive antipyretic analgesics.

Tetracosane (ALKANE C24) is a natural product that can be found in Acrostichum aureum. Tetracosane hows cytotoxicity and induces Apoptosis. Tetracosane has the potential for the research of peptic ulcer.

Undecane is a potent cAMP agonist with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities. Undecane inhibits degranulation and the secretion of histamine and TNF-α. Undecane reverses the increased levels of p38 phosphorylation, NF-κB transcriptional activity and target cytokine/chemokine genes, including thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). Undecane can be used for the study of skin inflammatory disorders, such as atopic dermatitis.

Octadecane is an alkane used as a phase change material for storing thermal energy at ambient temperature. Octadecane can endow pesticide formulations with environmental responsiveness in the field of agricultural nanomaterials, enabling precise and safe pesticide application.

Tritriacontane is an ester product.

(Z)-9-Tricosene (cis-9-Tricosene) is an insect pheromone present in flies of the order Diptera (such as the housefly) and can be used as an insecticide.

Octacosane is an endogenous metabolite with antibacterial activity. Octacosane shows high cytotoxicity against murine melanoma B16F10-Nex2 cells besides inducing protection against a grafted subcutaneous melanoma. Octacosane has the larvicidal activity against mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus with the LC₅₀ concentration of 7.2 mg/l.

Nonacosane, isolated from Baphia massaiensis, exhibits weak activities against E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus.

1-Dodecene is an unsaturated olefin.

Alloocimene is a diterpenoid that activates defense genes and induces resistance to Botrytis cinerea in Arabidopsis thaliana.

7(Z),11(Z)-Heptacosadiene is an ester product.
