20-hydroxy Arachidic Acid Usage And Synthesis

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.

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fatty acid that is icosanoic acid (arachidonic acid) in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group has been replaced by a hydroxy group.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.
