ChEBI: A C19 straight-chain fatty acid of plant or bacterial origin.
An intermediate in the biodegradation of n-icosane, it has been shown to inhibit cancer growth.
Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s):
Bronsted acid
A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Bronsted base).
Biological Role(s):
fungal metabolite
Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in fungi, the kingdom that includes microorganisms such as the yeasts and moulds.
Nonadecylic acid, also known as n-nonadecanoic acid or nonadecylic acid or C19:0, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids.
These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms, with nonadecanoic acid (its ester is called nonadecanoate) having 19 carbon atoms.
Nonadecylic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water).
Nonadecylic acid is a solid with a melting point of 69.4°C.
Nonadecylic acid is an odd-numbered long chain fatty acid, likely derived from bacterial or plant sources.
Nonadecylic acid has been found in ox fats and vegetable oils.
Nonadecylic acid is also used by certain insects as a phermone. Nonadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid.
Nonadecylic acid is an antiproliferative agent.
Nonadecylic acid inhibits cancer cell growth (IC50 = 68 uM, HL-60 cells).
