Description
20-hydroxy Arachidic acid is a hydroxylated fatty acid that has been found in the suberin component of silver birch (
B. pendula) outer bark as well as the leaves, roots, and wood of
Q. ilex from Cala Violina and Colognole, Italy. 20-hydroxy Arachidic acid was identified as a potential inhibitor of human rhinovirus coat protein in a structure-based virtual screen. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1877]
Uses
20-Hydroxyeicosanoic acid is an ester product.
Definition
ChEBI: 20-hydroxyicosanoic acid is an omega-hydroxy-long-chain fatty acid that is icosanoic acid (arachidonic acid) in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and an omega-hydroxy-long-chain fatty acid. It is functionally related to an icosanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 20-hydroxyicosanoate.
