|---|---|
| lauric acid | |
| docosahexaenoate | |
| oleic acid | An unsaturated fatty acid that is the most widely distributed and abundant fatty acid in nature. It is used commercially in the preparation of oleates and lotions, and as a pharmaceutical solvent. (Stedman, 26th ed) |
| eicosapentaenoic acid | Important polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oils. It serves as the precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. A diet rich in eicosapentaenoic acid lowers serum lipid concentration, reduces incidence of cardiovascular disorders, prevents platelet aggregation, and inhibits arachidonic acid conversion into the thromboxane-2 and prostaglandin-2 families. |
| linoleic acid | A doubly unsaturated fatty acid, occurring widely in plant glycosides. It is an essential fatty acid in mammalian nutrition and is used in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and cell membranes. (From Stedman, 26th ed) |
| gamma-linolenic acid | An omega-6 fatty acid produced in the body as the delta 6-desaturase metabolite of linoleic acid. It is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, a biosynthetic precursor of monoenoic prostaglandins such as PGE1. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) |
| alpha-linolenic acid | A fatty acid that is found in plants and involved in the formation of prostaglandins. |
| stearic acid | |
| palmitic acid | A common saturated fatty acid found in fats and waxes including olive oil, palm oil, and body lipids. |
| myristic acid | A saturated 14-carbon fatty acid occurring in most animal and vegetable fats, particularly butterfat and coconut, palm, and nutmeg oils. It is used to synthesize flavor and as an ingredient in soaps and cosmetics. (From Dorland, 28th ed) |
| s-tetradecanoyl-coenzyme a | |
| butyryl-coenzyme a | |
| decanoyl-coenzyme A | |
| lauroyl-coenzyme a | |
| 3-ketohexanoyl-coenzyme A | |
| arachidonic acid | An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. |
| octanoyl-coenzyme A | |
| hexanoyl-coenzyme a | |
| oleoyl-coenzyme a | RN given refers to (Z)-isomer |
| linoleoyl-coenzyme A | RN from 9th CI Form Index & given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| arachidonyl-coenzyme a | |
| crotonyl-coenzyme a | |
| 2,4-decadienoyl-coenzyme A | |
| 3-hydroxybutyryl-coenzyme A, (S)-isomer | |
| beta-ketohexadecanoyl-coenzyme A | |
| 3-ketostearoyl-coenzyme A | |
| 4-decenoyl-coenzyme A | |
| 2-hexadecenoyl-coenzyme A | |
| acetyl coenzyme a | Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. |
| palmitoleic acid | factor capable of converting CaATPase into MgATPase; RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| palmitoyl coenzyme a | A fatty acid coenzyme derivative which plays a key role in fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis. |
| stearoyl-coenzyme a |
