alpha-Hydroxybehenic acid
IUPAC 名称
2-hydroxydocosanoic acid
描述
Alpha-hydroxybehenic acid, also known as A-hydroxydocosanoate or A-hydroxybehenate, is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. Very long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Thus, alpha-hydroxybehenic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Alpha-hydroxybehenic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Alpha-hydroxybehenic acid can be synthesized from docosanoic acid. Alpha-hydroxybehenic acid can also be synthesized into N-(2-hydroxybehenoyl)-D-galactosylsphingosine. Alpha-hydroxybehenic acid can be found in black elderberry, which makes alpha-hydroxybehenic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
