Natural Product Identification
Common Name12-methyltetradecanoic acid
Description12-Methyltetradecanoic acid, also known as 15:0Ai or anteiso-15:0, 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. A branched-chain saturated fatty acid comprising tetradecanoic acid carrying a 12-methyl substituent. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid is found in Agelas conifera, Antirrhinum majus, Callyspongia fallax, Erylus formosus, Mycale laevis, Myrmekioderma rea, Solanum lycopersicum, Streptomyces endophyticus, Streptomyces indicus, Suberites massa and Xestospongia muta. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid was first documented in 2005 (PMID: 15750056). 12-Methyltetradecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 17295090).
