9-cis-Vitamin A palmitate (9-cis-Retinyl palmitate) is a 9-cis isomer resulting from the interaction of vitamin A palmitate in corn flakes. It exhibits a biological activity of 26% compared to all-trans-vitamin A palmitate, which is known to be the most biologically active form of vitamin A.
Kahweol palmitate is a semi-synthetic derivative of kahweol, a natural product found in coffee beans. It exhibits a wide variety of biological activities, including inhibiting RANKL-induced osteoclast generation, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, preventing aflatoxin B1-induced DNA adduct formation, and suppressing H2O2-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress.
6-Methylheptyl palmitate is an organic compound widely used in skin care products and cosmetics. It is an excellent skin softener with stable properties and is not prone to oxidation or odor.
4-Nitrophenyl palmitate serves as a colorimetric substrate for lipase and esterase, enabling the quantification of enzyme activity through the release and colorimetric detection of 4-nitrophenol at 410 nm following enzymatic hydrolysis. This compound facilitates the characterization of enzyme activity across diverse bacterial and mammalian sources, including Burkholderia and porcine pancreatic lipases.
BODIPY-Palmitate, a fluorescent derivative of palmitic acid, exhibits excitation and emission maxima at 488 nm and 508 nm, respectively. It is employed in the monitoring of fatty acid uptake and metabolism within cultured cells.
alpha-Amyrin palmitate is antiarthritic in the adjuvant model of arthritis in rats. alpha-Amyrin palmitate is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of chymotrypsin (Ki=6 microM), it also shows weak cytotoxicity against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line.
