Lipids & Polymers

(R)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid is a lipid that plays an intermediate role in fatty acid biosynthesis. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

(R)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid Methyl Ester is a lipid comprised of a modified myristic acid with a terminal methyl ester. (R)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid Methyl Ester has been shown to catalyze the oxidation of short-chain olefins and is also used in medicine, specifically for the treatment of obesity by inhibiting lipase. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

(S)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid is a lipid comprised of a modified myristic acid with a terminal carboxylic acid group. (S)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens. (S)-3-Hydroxymyristic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to lipase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides. This inhibition prevents fatty acids from being released from cells, leading to cell death. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

(S)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid Methyl Ester is a lipid comprised of a modified myristic acid with a terminal methyl ester. (R)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid Methyl Ester has been shown to catalyze the oxidation of short-chain olefins and is also used in medicine, specifically for the treatment of obesity by inhibiting lipase. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

2-(n-Hexadecanoylamino)-4-nitrophenol is a lipid comprised of pentadecanoic acid and a terminal nitrophenol. The nitrophenol group can be used in the preparation of more advanced pharmaceutical compounds. 2'-Hydroxy-5'-nitrohexadecanamide inhibits lysosomal hydrolase, which is an enzyme that breaks down cellular lipids. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

2-Hydroxy Oleic Acid is an oleic acid synthetic analog that is an effective non-toxic anticancer drug with a wide spectrum against different types of cancer. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups of activated NHS ester to form a stable amide bond. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

Isoleukotoxin Diol is the oxidation product of linoleic acid, with a pair of hydroxly groups on the unsaturated fatty acid tail and a carboxylic acid as the polar head. Isoleukotoxin Diol is an anti-inflammatory, acne reductive, and moisture retentive lipid when used topically on the skin. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

12-Ketostearic Acid Sodium Salt is a synthetic membrane probe that binds to the hydrophobic regions in lipid bilayer membranes. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups of activated NHS ester to form a stable amide bond. Reagent grade, for research purpose.

Lactic Acid Dodecyl Ester is a lipid with a terminal hydroxyl group at the head. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
