17-Hydroxyheptadecanoicacid, a hydroxylated fatty acid identified in aeolian particles from the Frioul Islands and the outer bark of E. globulus, serves in the synthesis of diverse macrocyclic lactones. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1760]
Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is a cholesterol ester (CE) formed by the condensation of cholesterol with heptadecanoicacid, a C-17 saturated fatty acid that does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at high concentrations. As such, it is commonly used as an internal standard for the quantification of cholesterol esters by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. CEs are major constituents of lipoprotein particles carried in blood and accumulate in the fatty acid lesions of atherosclerotic plaques. CEs of various fatty acids are major constituents of murine and human adrenal glands.
1-Heptadecanoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains heptadecanoicacid at the sn-1 position. It is active against the bacteria E. aerogens, E. cloacae, P. mirabilis, and S. faecalis (MIC = 78 μg ml for all).1 1-Heptadecanoyl-rac-glycerol has been found in T. africana, I. sonorae, and wheat bran.1,2,3 |1.
