Product Description
Nonadecanoic acid is a 19 C-long saturated fatty acid, which is the main substance secreted by Rhinotermes marginalis during defense.
Nonadecanoic acid (CAS 646-30-0) is a 19-carbon saturated fatty acid found in fats and vegetable oils. The compound has molecular formula C₁₉H₃₈O₂ and molecular weight 298.5 g/mol. It appears as white flakes or powder with a melting point of 68-70°C. Nonadecanoic acid is also known as n-nonadecanoic acid, C19:0 fatty acid, and nonadecyclic acid. The compound is slightly soluble in chloroform and methanol. It has been shown to inhibit HL-60 cancer cell proliferation with an IC₅₀ value of 68 μM. Nonadecanoic acid is found in fats and vegetable oils and serves as a biochemical tool for studying fatty acid metabolism and cancer cell biology.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nonadecanoic acid does not have a single defined pharmacological target. As a 19-carbon saturated fatty acid found in fats and vegetable oils, it may interact with various cellular processes involved in lipid metabolism, membrane structure, and cell signaling. The compound has been shown to inhibit HL-60 cancer cell proliferation with an IC₅₀ value of 68 μM. Fatty acids can modulate cell proliferation through effects on membrane fluidity, lipid raft composition, and signaling pathways such as PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) and NF-κB. Nonadecanoic acid may also serve as a substrate for fatty acid metabolism enzymes or as a component of cellular membranes. Further research is needed to identify its specific molecular targets.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Nonadecanoic acid has been shown to inhibit HL-60 cancer cell proliferation with an IC₅₀ value of 68 μM. The compound is a 19-carbon saturated fatty acid found in fats and vegetable oils. Its anti-proliferative activity suggests potential applications in cancer research. The compound may exert its effects through modulation of lipid metabolism, membrane structure, or cell signaling pathways. Nonadecanoic acid serves as a biochemical tool for studying fatty acid metabolism and cancer cell biology. Its in vitro activity is concentration-dependent, with efficacy observed at micromolar concentrations. The compound's effects on other cancer cell lines or normal cells require further investigation.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for Nonadecanoic acid are limited as the compound is primarily used as a research chemical. As a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid found in fats and vegetable oils, it is metabolized through normal fatty acid oxidation pathways. The compound's anti-proliferative activity against HL-60 cancer cells suggests potential for in vivo studies in cancer models. However, detailed in vivo efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological data for Nonadecanoic acid require further investigation from primary research publications. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic applications.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) assays for Nonadecanoic acid are not standard pharmacological assays. However, the compound may be studied for its interactions with fatty acid binding proteins, PPARs, or other lipid-binding proteins. Binding assays using radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled fatty acids can measure displacement by Nonadecanoic acid. Enzyme activity assays for fatty acid metabolizing enzymes (e.g., acyl-CoA synthetase, fatty acid desaturase) may use Nonadecanoic acid as a substrate or inhibitor. The compound's anti-proliferative activity may also be assessed using cell-free assays measuring effects on signaling pathways or enzyme activities. These assays help characterize the compound's biochemical properties and potential mechanisms of action.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments with Nonadecanoic acid are performed using HL-60 leukemia cells to assess its anti-proliferative activity. Cells are cultured in appropriate media (e.g., RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS) and treated with varying concentrations of Nonadecanoic acid (typically 10-200 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or trypan blue exclusion assays. The IC₅₀ of 68 μM is determined from concentration-response curves. Apoptosis may be evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry following propidium iodide staining. The compound's effects on lipid metabolism and signaling pathways may be assessed by Western blot or biochemical assays. Cells are maintained at 37°C in 5% CO₂ with appropriate media supplements.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Nonadecanoic acid have not been extensively reported. As a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid found in fats and vegetable oils, it is a normal component of the diet and is metabolized through fatty acid oxidation pathways. For cancer research, standard in vivo models could include xenografts of HL-60 or other leukemia cell lines. Animals would be treated with Nonadecanoic acid via oral or intraperitoneal administration, and efficacy assessed by measuring tumor growth, survival, and hematological parameters. However, detailed in vivo studies are needed to establish its therapeutic potential. The compound is intended for research use only.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Nonadecanoic acid are not extensively characterized. The compound has molecular formula C₁₉H₃₈O₂ and molecular weight 298.5 g/mol. It appears as white flakes or powder with a melting point of 68-70°C. Boiling point is 297°C at 100 mmHg. Density is 0.886±0.06 g/cm³ (predicted). The pKa is 4.78±0.10 (predicted). LogP is estimated at 8.339, indicating high lipophilicity. Storage: 2-8°C. As a long-chain saturated fatty acid (C19:0), it is expected to be absorbed through dietary fat absorption pathways, incorporated into lipoproteins, and metabolized by β-oxidation. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological information for Nonadecanoic acid indicates hazard code Xi (Irritant). Risk statements include R36/37/38 (Irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin). Safety statements include S26 (In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice). The compound is classified as a combustible solid (Storage Class 11) and is stable but incompatible with bases, reducing agents, and oxidizing agents. Standard safety precautions for handling research chemicals apply, including use of personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat) and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound is for research use only.

Additional Infomation
Nonadecanoic acid (NCO) is a C19 straight-chain fatty acid derived from plants or bacteria. It is an intermediate in the biodegradation of n-eicosane and has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth. It is also a fungal metabolite. NCO is both a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and a long-chain fatty acid. It is the conjugate acid of NCO. It has been reported that NCO is found in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), Streptomyces, and several other organisms with relevant data. See also: Fatty Acids, C16-22 (Note moved here).
