cis-Petroselinic Acid

cis-Petroselinic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid and isomer of oleic acid (Cay-90260) that is a component of plant lipids. Arachidonic acid levels decrease, while linoleic acid levels increase, in the heart, liver, and blood of rats fed a diet containing petroselinic acid. It has been used in a composite membrane as a model of plant partitioning to study the uptake of hydrophobic organic contaminants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It has also been used as a substrate for the synthesis of new sophorolipids, which could have biological activities similar to natural biosurfactants.Formal Name: 6Z-octadecenoic acid.
