Linoleyl alcohol

SKU: orb1298053

Description

Linoleyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol and structural analog of linoleic acid, lacking the carboxylic acid group. It is used in biochemical research to study lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and as a precursor in the synthesis of other lipid derivatives in both in vitro and cell-based experimental systems.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Esters made from Gallic acid (GA) and (-)-Epigallo-catechin (EGC) or Linoleyl alcohol are more effective in weight-loss promotion and metabolic syndrome management than are intact GA and EGC.

• In Vitro:
  The dioxygenation of Linoleyl alcohol by potato tuber lipoxygenase results in the formation of two positional isomeric 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadien-1-ols and products-9-.
