Mono-unsaturated fatty acids are components of the cellular membranes of autotrophic bacteria. The specific composition and abundance of membrane fatty acids can be used to identify specific genera of bacterial populations in natural environments (e.g., mining lakes, etc.). 7(Z)-Hexadecenoic acid methyl ester is a...

Leelamine is a diterpene amine that has been found in gum resin and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK, IC50 = 9.5 µM). Leelamine is active against the plant pathogenic fungus B. cinerea (EC50 = 70 µM). It induces apoptosis in UACC-903 and 1205Lu melanoma cell lines...

1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (SAPC) is a phospholipid containing stearic acid (Cay-10011298) and arachidonic acid (Cay-90010, Cay-90010.1, Cay-10006607) at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively. It is a component of LDL and has been found in human stenotic aortic valves and atherosclerotic plaques....

AEA acts as an endogenous mimic of Delta9-THC, the psychotropic component of marijuana. oxy-AEA is the O-alkyl-N-acyl oxyhomologue of AEA. oxy-AEA is selective for the peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptor with Ki values of 0.47 and 0.081 µM for hCB1 and hCB2, respectively. In comparison, AEA has a greater affinity...
