Uses
10-Hydroxydecanoic acid is suitable for use in a study on Novozym 435-catalyzed condensation polymerization of cis-9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid and its comparison with corresponding polymerization of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.
Definition
ChEBI: A 10-carbon, omega-hydroxy fatty acid, shown to be the preferred hydroxylation product (together with the 9-OH isomer) of capric acid in biosystems, and used as a standard in lipid assays; reported to have cytotoxic effects.
General Description
10-Hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDA) is a saturated fatty acid of hydroxy-
trans-2-decenoic acid (10H2DA). Its molecule has two functional groups (-OH and -COOH). It has been reported to prevent the lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in murine macrophages. 10-HDA has been extracted from royal jelly obtained from honeybees (
Apis mellifera) and exhibits estrogenic action.
Its polymerization with the polyethylene glycol-modified lipase in a transparent benzene solution has been reported to proceed by the formation of ester linkage.
