| Common Name | Ethyl oleate |
|---|
| Description | Ethyl oleate, also known as ethyl oleic acid or fema 2450, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Ethyl oleate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Ethyl oleate is a dairy, fatty, and milky tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Ethyl oleate has been detected, but not quantified in, sweet marjorams and white mustards. This could make ethyl oleate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. There is a growing body of research literature that implicates FAEEs such as ethyl oleate as the toxic mediators of ethanol in the body (pancreas, liver, heart, and brain). Ethyl oleate is used as a solvent for pharmaceutical drug preparations involving lipophilic substances such as steroids. Ethyl oleate is a fatty acid ester formed by the condensation of oleic acid and ethanol. However, it is used by compounding pharmacies as a vehicle for intramuscular drug delivery, in some cases to prepare the daily doses of progesterone in support of pregnancy. It also finds use as a lubricant and a plasticizer. Among the speculations is that ethyl oleate may be the toxic mediator of alcohol in fetal alcohol syndrome. Ethyl oleate is found in Aristolochia fontanesii, Artemisia argyi, Azadirachta indica, Cinnamomum camphora, Hamamelis virginiana, Mitracarpus hirtus, Packera anonyma and Portulaca oleracea. Ethyl oleate was first documented in 1991 (PMID: 1933386). Ethyl oleate has been identified as a primer pheromone in honeybees. |
