Lauricacid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of lauricacid by GC- or LC-MS. Lauricacid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found at high levels in coconut oil.1Lauricacid induces the activation of NF-κB and the expression of COX-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and IL-1α in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 25 μM.2
3-Hydroxy lauricacid methyl ester, a hydroxylated fatty acid methyl ester, is identified in methyl-branched poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) polymers produced by P. putida and D. tsuruhatensis [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1732].
12-Bromododecanoic acid, a halogenated derivative of lauricacid, serves in the synthesis of clickable myristic acid derivatives and functions as a model fatty acid ligand for elucidating the X-ray crystal structure of bovine β-lactoglobulin-ligand complexes. This compound, at a concentration of 10 µg ml, has been shown to diminish virion DNA in the culture supernatant of primary hepatocytes from a duckling model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and exhibits inhibitory activity against HIV replication in CEM-SS T cells with an EC50 value of 38 µM.
1,2-Dioleoyl-3-lauroyl-rac-glycerol-13C3 is designed as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-lauroyl-rac-glycerol, employable with GC- or LC-MS techniques. This compound is a type of triacylglycerol featuring oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, and lauricacid at the sn-3 position, and has been identified in date seed oil and the fat body of male B. lapidarius bumblebees.
