Product Description
13(E)-Docosenoic acid (Brassidic acid) is a trans acid, a 22-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid.
13(E)-Docosenoic acid (Brassidic acid; trans-13-Docosenoic acid; CAS# 506-33-2) is a trans-acid and a 22-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C22H42O2 and a molecular weight of 338.57. It appears as a white waxy solid and is insoluble in water. This compound is the trans isomer of erucic acid. It has been shown to induce human liver cells to undergo specific changes and is capable of inhibiting synchronous fluorescence in vitro, indicating its potential as an anti-cancer drug. The compound also has plant physiological effects, such as inducing seed germination and inhibiting flowering in plants. It is used in producing specialty polymers, lubricants, and surfactants.

ln Vivo
In vivo studies of 13(E)-Docosenoic acid are limited, as the compound is primarily used in research and industrial applications. Its potential as an anti-cancer drug based on in vitro findings suggests that in vivo evaluation in animal models of cancer would be warranted. As a fatty acid, it would be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized through standard fatty acid oxidation pathways. Its plant physiological effects have been observed in plant models, including inducing seed germination and inhibiting flowering. The compound's use in producing specialty polymers, lubricants, and surfactants indicates industrial applications rather than therapeutic use. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacological properties.

Control groups receiving vehicle alone are included for comparison. All procedures must comply with institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 13(E)-Docosenoic acid reflect its nature as a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid. It has a molecular weight of 338.57 and is a 22-carbon fatty acid. The compound is insoluble in water and appears as a white waxy solid. As a fatty acid, it would be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract following emulsification and incorporated into lipoproteins for distribution. It is metabolized through beta-oxidation in the mitochondria. The compound's trans configuration may affect its metabolism compared to cis fatty acids. Its use in producing specialty polymers, lubricants, and surfactants indicates industrial applications. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling would require further systematic studies.
