Hexadecyl

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Hexadecyl is a functional group chain molecule of carbon and hydrogen, with formula C16H33 and with average mass 225.433.[1] It is "an alkyl radical derived from a hexadecane," especially a cetyl.[2] It is on the Enzyme Commission number list. It is a noted hydrophobe.[3]

The substance synthesized by Hexadecyl, Carboplatin and polyethylene glycol appears to have increased liposolubility and PEGylation qualities. This may be useful in chemotherapy, specifically non-small cell lung cancer.[4]

Hexadecyl was noted as early as 1982 for its role in radiolabelling.[5] The technique of which it forms a vital part has continued to be useful even as late as 2017.[6] In fact, it is useful to radiolabel exosomes and hydrogels.[7]

Hexadecyl is a bridge molecule important for positron emission tomography.[8]

Hexadecyl platelet-activating factor "has profound effects on the lung".[9]

Hexadecyl and octadecyl groups are favoured by some in the production of Lysophosphatidic acid.[10]

Hexadecyl glyceryl ether is important in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens.[11]
