Natural Product Identification
Common NameHeptacosanoic acid
DescriptionHeptacosanoic acid, also known as C27:0 Or carboceric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Heptacosanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Heptacosanoic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Heptacosanoic acid is found in Artemisia igniaria, Malvaviscus arboreus, Neolitsea sericea, Nicotiana tabacum, Hansenia forbesii, Rhizophora apiculata, Terminalia chebula, Toddalia asiatica, Traversia baccharoides and Triticum aestivum . Heptacosanoic acid was first documented in 1983 (PMID: 6874949). A C27, very long straight-chain, saturated fatty acid (PMID: 24746767).
