(R)-3-Hydroxy Myristic Acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Powder

Uses

One of two major component of bacterial Lipid A .

Uses

3-Hydroxytetradecanoic Acid is used in the preparation of liposomes coated with N-acylated molecular-weight. Also used in the synthesis of pseudomycin side-chain analogs. Also used in the study of Lipid A, a major constituent of the lipopolysaccharides, which are responsible for the toxicity of gram negative bacteria.

Definition

ChEBI: A 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid that has R configuration at position 3. It plays an intermediate role in fatty acid biosynthesis.

General Description

(R)-3-Hydroxy myristic acid is a low energy compound that can be synthesized by stepwise reactions. This molecule can be obtained from the wild-type strain of Escherichia coli and purified by preparative high performance liquid chromatography (preparative HPLC). The molecule has an asymmetric carbon atom and an hydroxy group at one end. It also contains a monoclonal antibody with a hydroxyl group and a fatty acid, which can be analyzed using mass spectrometry. Chemical analysis of this molecule reveals that it is composed of two fatty acids, including linoleic acid and 3-hydroxy myristic acid.
