Natural Product Identification
Common Nameβ-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid
Description3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, also known as b-hydroxypalmitic acid or beta-hydroxyhexadecanoate, 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. 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is a long-chain hydroxy fatty acid that is the 3-hydroxy derivative of palmitic acid. 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. β-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is found in Centaurea aspera and Hypericum perforatum. In humans, 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is involved in fatty acid metabolism.
