12-methylMyristicacidmethylester is a methylated fatty acidmethylester that has been found in vermicomposts of cattle manure, carica papaya leaves, and cuticular wax of K. africana. It is a volatile compound in lipid-lowering granulated tea. Levels of 12-methylmyristicacidmethylester are decreased in T. cruzi treated with nifurtimox compared to non-treated controls.
