| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
16-hydroxy Hexadecanoic acid is a metabolite of the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (16:0) that has been hydroxylated on its terminal (ω) carbon. It is produced by ω-hydroxylation of palmitic acid by cytochrome P450 in both plants and animals.1,2,3,4 In plants, it is commonly a component of cutin.5,2 | [Chemical Properties]
white crystalline powder | [Uses]
16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid was used in the synthesis of dihydroxypalmitic acids. It was also used to induce the expression of two GRP genes of Arabidopsis thaliana, AtGRP5 and AtGRP23. | [Application]
16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid can be used to:
(1) Oxidative reactions: Cell lysates and intact cells of Escherichia coli JM101 recombinant, which synthesises the cyp102 gene for cytochrome P450BM-3 monooxygenase, biotransform 16-hydroxyhexa-decanoic acid into 1, 16-hexadecanedioic acid. a small amount of intermediate product accumulation accompanies the oxidation of 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid. hydroxyhexadecanoic acid oxidation is accompanied by the accumulation of a small amount of intermediate products. The by-products also include 13.16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid and 12,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid[1].
(2) 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid ethyl ester was synthesised from 16-hexadecanolactone by an intramolecular ester exchange reaction with PEG-lipase[2].
(3) Lactonisation reaction: It has been demonstrated that Mucor javanicus L46 and Mucor miehei catalyse the lactonisation reaction of 15-hydroxypentadecanoic and 16- hydroxyhexadecanoic acids to appropriate macrocyclic mono- and oligolactones[3].
