Natural Product Identification
Common Name13-methylpentadecanoic acid
Description13-Methylpentadecanoic acid, also known as anteisopalmitic acid or C15:0-13-Methyl, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. 13-methylpentadecanoic acid was first documented in 1979 (PMID: 115510). 13-Methylpentadecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
