General Description

CIS-9,10-METHYLENEHEXADECANOIC ACID, also known as Cis-9,10-methylenehexadecanoic acid, is a fatty acid with a chemical formula C17H32O2. It is a saturated fatty acid with a unique structure that contains a methylene group between the ninth and tenth carbon atoms. This fatty acid is found naturally in certain animal and plant sources, and it is also produced synthetically for use in various industrial and scientific applications. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic properties, including its ability to modulate lipid metabolism and inflammatory processes. Additionally, CIS-9,10-METHYLENEHEXADECANOIC ACID has shown promise in the development of new pharmaceuticals and bio-based materials.

Ascaroside Signaling in the Bacterivorous Nematode Caenorhabditis remanei Encodes the Growth Phase of Its Bacterial Food Source

A novel class of species-specific modular ascarosides that integrate additional fatty acid building blocks was characterized in the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei using a combination of HPLC-ESI-(-)-MS/MS precursor ion scanning, microreactions, HR-MS/MS, MSn, and NMR techniques. The structure of the dominating component carrying a cyclopropyl fatty acid moiety was established by total synthesis. Biogenesis of this female-produced male attractant depends on cyclopropyl fatty acid synthase (cfa), which is expressed in bacteria upon entering their stationary phase.
