1-Octanol, a saturated fatty alcohol, functions as an inhibitor of T-type calcium channels (T-channels), showing an inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 4 μM for native T-currents[1]. Additionally, 1-Octanol is recognized for its potential as a biofuel, possessing diesel-like properties[2].

Pentacosanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids.

Ethionamide (2-ethylthioisonicotinamide) is a nicotinamide derivative, with antibacterial activity, used to treat tuberculosis. Although the exact mechanism of action of ethionamide is unknown, it may inhibit the synthesis of mycolic acid, a saturated fatty acid found in the bacterial cell wall, thereby inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This eventually leads to bacterial cell wall disruption and cell lysis. Ethionamide may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal in action, depending on the concentration of the drug at the site of infection and the susceptibility of the organism involved.

Sodium caprate (Sodium decanoate) is the sodium salt of caproic acid, a 10-carbon saturated fatty acid. It has an amphiphilic character and can form liquid crystalline phases and micelles in an aqueous solution.

Decanedioic acid (Sebacinsaure) is a saturated, straight-chain naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid.

Myristic acid (Crodacid) , a 14 carbon saturated fatty acid, is a rare molecule in cells and is a substrate of some fatty acid desaturases. This compound has the ability to acylate proteins by covalently binding to the N-terminal glycine residues, in a process called N-terminal myristoylation. Myristoylation of substrate proteins by this fatty acid has the potential to activate and mediate many physiological pathways. Furthermore, saturated fatty acids have been reported to be essential for biological activities of lipopolysaccharides and have demonstrated the ability to induce expression of COX-2 and NFκB (nuclear factor κB) activation.

Tridecanoic acid (Tridecylic Acid) is a 13-carbon saturated fatty acid found in dairy products and also as a product of anaerobic biodegradation of n-hexadecane. It has been identified as a substrate of phospholipase A2.

Nervonic acid (Selacholeic acid) is a long chain unsaturated fatty acid that is enriched in sphingomyelin. It consists of choline, sphingosine, phosphoric acid, and fatty acid. Nervonic acid may enhance the brain functions and prevent demyelination (Chemical Land21). Research shows that there is negative relationship between nervonic acid and obesity-related risk factors. Demyelination in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is associated with an accumulation of very long chain saturated fatty acids stemming from a genetic defect in the peroxisomal beta oxidation system responsible for the chain shortening of these fatty acids. Sphingolipids from post mortem ALD brain have decreased levels of nervonic acid, 24:1(n-9), and increased levels of stearic acid, 18:0.

Docosanoic acid (Behenic Acid) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found in peanut and M. oleifera seed oils.

Lauric Acid (Dodecylic acid),which is found naturally in various plant and animal fats and oils, is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid with a 12-carbon backbone. It is a major component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.

Palmitic acid sodium (Sodium palmitate) is a type of saturated fatty acid that is formed in fatty acid synthesis.Palmitic acid sodium promotes adipogenesis and cellular lipoatrophy in a variety of cell lines.

Pentadecylic acid, a saturated fatty acid, consists of a 15-carbon straight chain commonly found in dairy products and some plants and animals, with the molecular formula C15H30O2. [It has a melting point of 52.4°C (126.3°F)] and is utilized in biochemical research and the synthesis of various compounds.

1-Dodecanol, an endogenous metabolite and saturated fatty alcohol derived from coconut oil fatty acids, is characterized by a floral odor. It is utilized in detergents, Lepidopteran pheromone/sex attractant, lubricating oils, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.

Methyl Laurate (methyl dodecanoate) is a 12-carbon saturated fatty acid and an esterified version of lauric acid[1].

Methyl pentadecanoate is a natural product.

N-heptadecane is a saturated hydrocarbon compound commonly used as a standard substance in chemical analysis and can be used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

1-Nonadecanol is a saturated fatty alcohol. 1-Nonadecanol is one of the compositions of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) essential oil of Heracleum thomsonii. 1-Nonadecanol is also an important aroma compound in Neotinea ustulata.

1-Docosanol (Behenic alcohol) is a saturated 22-carbon aliphatic alcohol with antiviral activity. 1-Docosanol has a distinct mechanism of action and inhibits fusion between the plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus envelope, thereby preventing viral entry into cells and subsequent viral activity and replication. 1-Docosanol is used topically in the treatment of recurrent herpes simplex labialis episodes and relieves associated pain and may help heal sores faster.

Isomyristic acid, also known by its systematic name 12-methyltridecanoic acid, is a branched-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by a 14-carbon backbone with a methyl branch located at the 12th carbon position, Isomyristic acid is found naturally in the lipid compositions of various organisms, including certain species of bacteria, fungi, and fish.

Tetracontane is a long-chain saturated hydrocarbon primarily used as a non-polar solvent and as a calibration standard for determining hydrocarbons in soil samples.

Dihydrophytol is a saturated diterpene alcohol that functions as a key metabolic intermediate in the endogenous biosynthetic pathway leading to phytanic acid. Dihydrophytol is biochemically produced from the unsaturated alcohol phytol via a hydrogenation process that occurs primarily in the rumen of cattle through the metabolic activity of resident microorganisms.

2-Methyldecane is a colorless liquid used primarily as a solvent in organic synthesis reactions, and is also present in spice tobacco and cigarette smoke; it has low inhalation toxicity, and no deaths were observed in rats exposed to saturated vapor concentrations for 4 hours.

The acyl amides are a family of endogenous lipids that act as potent modulators of pain and inflammation. The best characterized members of this family are the arachidonoyl amides, which includes N-arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide). N-palmitoyl glycine (PalGly) contains an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid that is amide-linked to glycine and is structurally similar to the phospholipid-derived N-acyl ethanolamines. Endogenously produced in rat skin and spinal cord, PalGly is present in 100-fold greater amounts in skin and 3-fold greater in brain compared to AEA. Injection of 0.43 μg PalGly in rat hindpaw inhibits heat-induced firing of nociceptive neurons in rat dorsal horn. PalGly treatment induces transient calcium influx in native dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and in the PTX-sensitive, DRG-like cell line F-11 (EC50 = 5.5 μM).
