Common NameLignoceryl alcohol
DescriptionLignoceryl alcohol, also known as 1-tetracosanol or tetracosyl alcohol, 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, lignoceryl alcohol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. A very long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is tetracosane in which a hydrogen attached to one of the terminal carbons is replaced by a hydroxy group. Lignoceryl alcohol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Lignoceryl alcohol has been detected, but not quantified in, common hazelnuts. This could make lignoceryl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Lignoceryl alcohol is found in Arnebia hispidissima, Artemisia igniaria, Cinnamomum triplinerve, Convolvulus arvensis, Crataegus monogyna, Euphorbia falcata, Acca sellowiana, Gisekia pharnaceoides, Gynura japonica, Harpullia pendula, Hypericum perforatum, Larix gmelinii, Larix sibirica, Lolium perenne, Cryptolepis nigrescens, Petiveria alliacea, Pinus koraiensis , Pinus sibirica, Populus tremuloides, Prunus africana, Prunus laurocerasus, Persica vulgaris , Pycnandra acuminata, Sambucus nigra, Sebertia acuminata, Solanum tuberosum , Tanacetum longifolium and Triticum turgidum. Lignoceryl alcohol was first documented in 2010 (PMID: 19716291). It has been isolated from a variety of plants, including grape seeds, evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), pitaya fruits (Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus), and the flowers of Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac) (PMID: 22417487) (PMID: 24239848) (PMID: 24386928).
