2-Methyloctadecanoic acid manifests as a white or colorless crystalline substance, exhibiting insolubility in water but solubility in organic solvents like ethanol, acetone, and chloroform. In vitro studies have shown its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, curb the growth of bacteria, and neutralize free radicals. 2-Methyloctadecanoic acid serves as a standard reference material in the gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of fatty acids. Additionally, it′s utilized as a substrate in studies of microbial fermentation to assess the production of 2-Methyloctadecanoic acid in fatty acids by various microorganisms.
