Lesquerolic Acid

	Lesquerolic Acid Lesquerolic acid is a hydroxycarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in ''Paysonia lasiocarpa'' and other '' Paysonia'' and ''Physaria'' species. This compound has the ''R'' configuration at the alcohol-bearing stereocenter, and it is of the ''Z'' configuration at the olefin. Lesquerolic acid is chemically similar to ricinoleic acid Ricinoleic acid, formally called 12-hydroxy-9-''cis''-octadecenoic acid is a fatty acid. It is an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid and a hydroxy acid. It is a major component of the seed oil obtained from mature castor plant (''Ricinus communis' ..., but with two additional carbons at the carboxyl end of the carbon chain. Lesquerolic acid, with other hydroxy fatty acids, has important industrial uses, including making resins, waxes, nylons and plastics. References Fatty acids Hydroxy acids {{alkene-stub ...

	Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Hydroxycarboxylic acids are carboxylic acids containing one or more hydroxy (alcohol) functional groups. They are of particular interest because several are bioactive and some are useful precursors to polyesters. The inventory is large. Important or common examples Glycolic acid, , precursor to laquers Hydroxypropionic acids, e.g., (lactic acid), component of milk Hydroxybutyric acids, ( beta-Hydroxybutyric acid), carbon-storage compound Citric acid, , energy-carrying compound and iron-chelator Salicylic acid, , precursor to aspirin Ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-9-''cis''-octadecenoic acid)), a major component of the seed oil obtained from castor plant Tyrosine, {{chem2, 4\sHOC6H4CH2CH(NH2)CO2H, a common amino acid Subclasses Classes of hydroxycarboxylic acid are named by where the hydroxy group is on the carbon chain relative to the carboxylic group.

	Paysonia Lasiocarpa ''Paysonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. They are generally referred to by the common name bladderpod or mustard. The genus is found in southern North America. Until 2002 it was considered to be part of the genus ''Lesquerella'' but was separated based on genetic and morphological features. Species include: '' Paysonia auriculata'' ''Paysonia densipila'' ''Paysonia grandifloa'' ''Paysonia lasiocarpa ''Paysonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae.

	Physaria ''Physaria'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. Many species are known generally as twinpods, bladderpods, or lesquerella. They are native to the Americas, with many species endemic to western North America. They are densely hairy annual and perennial herbs often growing prostrate or decumbent, along the ground in patches or clumps. They bear inflorescences of bright yellow flowers. The fruit is often notched deeply, dividing into twin sections, giving the genus its common name. Bladderpod oil is extracted from the seeds of ''Physaria fendleri'' and certain other species in the genus. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Missouri Bladderpod 5-Year Review (2008) Due to the presence of both annual and perennial herbaceous members, this genus has been used as a model for allocation pattern comparisons ...

	Ricinoleic Acid Ricinoleic acid, formally called 12-hydroxy-9-''cis''-octadecenoic acid is a fatty acid. It is an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid and a hydroxy acid. It is a major component of the seed oil obtained from mature castor plant (''Ricinus communis'' L., Euphorbiaceae) seeds or in sclerotium of ergot (''Claviceps purpurea'' Tul., Clavicipitaceae). About 90% of the fatty acid content in castor oil is the triglyceride formed from ricinoleic acid. Production Ricinoleic acid is manufactured for industries by saponification or fractional distillation of hydrolyzed castor oil. The first attempts to prepare ricinoleic acid were made by Friedrich Krafft in 1888. Use Sebacic acid ((CH2)8(CO2H)2), which is used in preparing certain nylons, is produced by cleavage of ricinoleic acid. The coproduct is 2-octanol. The zinc salt is used in personal care products such as deodorants. Biological activities Ricinoleic acid exerts analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Ricinoleic acid specifi ...

picture info	Fatty Acids In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with an aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are a major component of the lipids (up to 70% by weight) in some species such as microalgae but in some other organisms are not found in their standalone form, but instead exist as three main classes of esters: triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters. In any of these forms, fatty acids are both important dietary sources of fuel for animals and important structural components for cells. History The concept of fatty acid (''acide gras'') was introduced in 1813 by Michel Eugène Chevreul, though he initially used some variant terms: ''graisse acide'' and ''acide huileux'' ("acid fat" and "oily acid"). Types of fatty acids Fatty acids are classified in many ways: by length, by saturation vs unsatura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
