Biological Activity

[Description]:

Methyl 12-Methyltetradecanoate is a methylated fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in vermicompost of cow dung, papaya leaves, and cuticle wax of K. africana. It is a volatile compound in lipid-reducing granule tea. The levels of methyl 12-methylmyristate were reduced in T. cruzi treated with nifurtimox compared to untreated controls.

Enantioselective analysis of chiral anteiso fatty acids in the polar and neutral lipids of food.

Lipids 45 , 357-365, (2010)

Anteiso fatty acids (aFA) are substituted with a methyl group on the antepenultimate carbon of the straight acyl chain. This feature leads to a stereogenic center. The 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (a15...
