Name: Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid

CAS: 5561-99-9

Feature:

Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is a very long-chain ω-9 fatty acid that is a trans monounsaturated isomer of arachidic acid. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid has a 20-carbon backbone and the sole double bond originating from the 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th 12th or 15th positions from the methyl end. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is an icosenoic acid having a cis- double bond at position 11. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a gondoate. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is a natural product found in Pringlea antiscorbutica, Delphinium fissum, and other organisms with data available. It is found in a variety of plant oils and nuts; in particular jojoba oil. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is one of several monounsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, and is used to study phospholipid membranes.

Jojoba oil is remarkable for its industrial usage, that is in engine lubricating oil, pharmaceutical compounds and cosmetics. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is also expected to be a raw material for medical supplies and a moisturizing component of cosmetic creams. In higher plants, cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is a precursor of erucic acid. Erucic acid is beneficial for various materials such as creams, cosmetics, lubricating oil, biodiesel and therapeutic medicine.

Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid has the following applications/functions:

1. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid has been shown to inhibit glycerophosphate acyltransferase, cholinephosphotransferase and ethanolaminephosphotransferase in V79-R cells. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid lacks the cis-double bond and has virtually no effect on telomerase activity (unlike cis-Unsaturated C20 fatty acids, which demonstrate strong telomerase inhibition and have been studied as a promising cancer therapeutic target).

2. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is used in engine lubricating oil and biodiesel.

3. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid is used for pharmaceutical compounds and therapeutic drugs.

4. Cis-11-Eicosenoic acid can be used as a moisturizing ingredient in beauty creams. It is also used in cosmetics.
