7-Hexadecyn-1-ol (CAS 822-21-9)
QUICK LINKS
7-Hexadecyn-1-ol is a unique fatty alcohol characterized by its long-chain structure and a terminal alkyne group. This combination of properties has sparked scientific interest, leading to its study across biochemistry and pharmacology sectors. Research indicates that 7-Hexadecyn-1-ol possesses antimicrobial properties, hinting at its potential in designing new antibiotics. Moreover, it has been observed to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. Opportunities also exist for its utilization as a tool in lipid metabolism studies or as a precursor in synthesizing other compounds. The precise mechanism through which 7-Hexadecyn-1-ol operates remains unclear. However, it is postulated that its terminal alkyne group interacts with proteins and other body molecules, thereby altering their activity. Notably, the disruption of lipid metabolism by 7-Hexadecyn-1-ol may play a role in its observed effects on cancer cells.
