Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexadecanedioic acid
DescriptionHexadecanedioic acid, also known as thapsic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Hexadecanedioic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Hexadecanedioic acid is activated by mitochondrial and microsomal fractions in the liver (PMID: 4372285 ). It has antitumor activity (PMID: 14987827 ).
