Short Fatty Esters

Eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA ethyl ester) is an orally active ω-3 fatty acid agent. Eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester could improve the activity of liver β-oxidase in vitro, reduce the level of liver total triglyceride, increase the content of liver triglyceride and phospholipid ω-3 fatty acid, and increase the total ω-3 fatty acid level in rats.

Methyl palmitoleate ((Z)-Methyl hexadec-9-enoate), a fatty acid methyl ester, is an analogue of Palmitoleate with cytoprotective and growth-promoting properties.

11-cis-Vaccenyl acetate is male-specific lipid that mediates aggregation behavior in both male and female flies, which activates a few dozen olfactory neurons located in T1 sensilla on the antenna of both male and female flies.

Methyl heptadecanoate (Methyl margarate) is a methyl ester derivative of heptadecanoic acid (HY-W004284). Methyl heptadecanoate is used as an internal standard for the quantitative calibration of fatty acids in GC-MS analysis.

Methyl palmitate is a naturally occurring fatty acid ester. Methyl palmitate is a potent inhibitor of ΙκB phosphorylation. Methyl palmitate modulates macrophage activity and down-regulates pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α and nitric oxide (NO). Methyl palmitate possesses anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects. Methyl palmitate can inhibit LPS (HY-D1056)-induced Kupffer cells and rat peritoneal macrophages. Methyl palmitate is able to inhibit the phagocytic function of RAW cells. Methyl palmitate is antagonistic to muscarinic receptors. Methyl palmitate exerts cardioprotective effects against ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo. Methyl palmitate is highly toxic against adult T. cinnabarinus.

Eicosapentaenoic acid methyl ester is a degradation product of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (Compound 1). Compound 1 can be isolated from the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Compound 1 induces Apoptosis.

Geranyl acetate, an acyclic monoterpene ester derived from geraniol, is widely used in the cosmetics industry due to its pleasant scent. Geranyl acetate can induces cell apoptosis.

Methyl stearate, isolated from Rheum palmatum L. is a compopent of of soybean and rapeseed biodiesels.

Ethyl palmitate (Ethyl hexadecanoate) is a CHIKV virus inhibitor with an EC₅₀ value of 0.0068 μM. Ethyl palmitate can reduce levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB in endotoxemic rats, showing anti-inflammatory activity.

Isopropyl myristate (IPM) is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. Isopropyl myristate is used for transdermal delivery of some compounds. Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption into the skin is desired.

Methyl oleate is a fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) with anti-extended spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) potential, anticancer and antibacterial activities. Methyl oleate substantially improves the antioxidation ability but markedly impaired the antiwear capacity of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). Methyl oleate is promising for research of ESBL producing multi drug resistant (MDR) pathogens.

Propyl dodecanoate (Propyl laurate) is a synthetic dodecanoic acid ester, exhibiting biting deterrent activity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Propyl dodecanoate can be used for the research of mosquito-borne disease vectors (Aedes aegypti).

Isopropyl palmitate is an fatty acid ester. Isopropyl palmitate can be used for design and characterization of bioactive bilayer films. The bilayer membrane not only has the ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, but also can inhibit the growth of known foodborne pathogens. Isopropyl palmitate can be used as an excipient, such as lubricant, oily carrier, solvent, controlled-release transdermal film. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs.

Methyl laurate (Methyl dodecanoate) is a fatty acid methyl ester. Methyl laurate can serve as a raw material to produce sucrose monolaurate via transesterification with sucrose.

Neryl acetate is an essential oil component. Neryl acetate upregulates genes associated with epidermal differentiation, skin barrier formation and ceramide synthesis; it also increases filaggrin expression, total lipid and ceramide contents. Neryl acetate acts as the core driver mediating the skin barrier-forming and antibacterial effects of Helichrysum italicum essential oil.

Methyl 3-phenylpropanoate is a phenylpropanoate compound. Methyl 3-phenylpropanoate serves as a volatile oil component, a flavoring agent, and also an endogenous metabolite. Derivatives of Methyl 3-phenylpropanoate interfere with the feeding behavior of insects. Methyl 3-phenylpropanoate can be used to study insect feeding behavior.

Methyl sorbate, which is an ester formed by the condensation of methanol and hexa-2,4-dienoic acid, is commonly used as a flavoring agent and fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries due to its fruity, floral, and taste, and in addition , it has also been investigated for its potential use as a starting material in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers.

(R)-Methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate, (R)-Methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate is an enantiomer, from the perspective of the methyl (-CH3) group, the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the third carbon atom The group faces to the right, a colorless transparent liquid, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, insoluble in water, (R)-Methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate is usually used to synthesize various organic compounds (including drugs, agricultural chemicals and flavoring agents) It can also be used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthetic reactions involving the formation of chemical bonds in a stereoselective manner.

(9Z,11E)-Prodlure ((9Z,11E)-Tetradecadien-1-yl acetate) is the main component of the sex pheromone of female Spodoptera littoralis.

Methyl myristate is a saturated fatty acid methyl ester obtained from the esterification of myristic acid. Methyl myristate shows a high melanin induction in B16F10 melanoma.
