2-FLUOROPALMITIC ACID Structural

What is 2-FLUOROPALMITIC ACID?

Definition

ChEBI: 2-fluorohexadecanoic acid is a long-chain fatty acid and a fluoro fatty acid.

Biological Activity

2-fluoropalmitic acid inhibits sphingosine biosynthesis and long-chain acyl-coa synthetase [1]. the length of the carbon chain of the fatty acid species defines the substrate specificity for the different acyl-coa synthetases (acs).mammalian long-chain acyl-coa synthetases (acsl) activate fatty acids with chain lengths of 12 to 20 carbon atoms. the long-chain acyl-coa synthetase mrna is expressed virtually in heart, liver, and epididymal adipose tissues and, to a much lesser extent, in brain, small intestine, and lung [2].palmitic acid was a selective cytotoxic substance extracted from the marine algal. at concentrations ranging from 12.5 to 50 μg/ml, palmitic acid showed selective cytotoxicity to human leukemic cells, but no cytotoxicity to normal hdf cells. palmitic acid (50 μg/ml) induced apoptosis in the human leukemic cell line molt-4. palmitic acid also showed in vivo antitumor activity in mice [3]. 2-fluoropalmitic acid showed an inhibitory effect on sphingosine biosynthesis and long-chain acyl-coa synthetase with an ic50 value of 0.2 mm [1].
