Common Name1-Heptacosanol
Description1-Heptacosanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, 1-heptacosanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 1-Heptacosanol is found in Berberis aquifolium, Buddleja crispa, Crataegus monogyna, Prosopis glandulosa, Prunus laurocerasus, Sigesbeckia glabrescens, Solanum tuberosum , Taxus baccata and Triticum aestivum . 1-Heptacosanol was first documented in 2002 (PMID: 12135162). 1-Heptacosanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 20461624) (PMID: 22417487) (PMID: 24770477) (PMID: 25050371) (PMID: 25593390) (PMID: 25891114).
