Cetyl myristoleate is a fatty acid ester or, more specifically, a cetylated fatty acid (CFA). It is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. [1] Preclinical and clinical data show potential benefits in the management of arthritis and fibromyalgia. [2] [unreliable medical source?]
Cetyl alcohol / ˈsiːtəl /, also known as hexadecan-1-ol and palmityl alcohol, is a C-16 fatty alcohol with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 15 OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. The name cetyl derives from the whale oil ( cetacea oil, from Latin: cetus, lit. ' whale ', from Ancient Greek ...
Cetostearyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol or cetylstearyl alcohol[ 1] is a mixture of fatty alcohols, consisting predominantly of cetyl (16 C) and stearyl alcohols (18 C) and is classified as a fatty alcohol. It is used as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifying agent, and foam boosting surfactant, as well as an aqueous and nonaqueous viscosity ...
Cetrimonium bromide, also known with the abbreviation CTAB, is a quaternary ammonium surfactant with a condensed structural formula [ (C 16 H 33 )N (CH 3) 3 ]Br. It is one of the components of the topical antiseptic cetrimide. [ 1] The cetrimonium (hexadecyltrimethylammonium) cation is an effective antiseptic agent against bacteria and fungi.
Spermaceti / s p ɜː m ə ˈ s iː t i / is a waxy substance found in the head cavities of the sperm whale (and, in smaller quantities, in the oils of other whales). Spermaceti is created in the spermaceti organ inside the whale's head.
Palmitic acid ( hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature) is a fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain. It is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms. [ 9][ 10] Its chemical formula is CH3(CH2)14COOH, and its C:D ratio (the total number of carbon atoms to the number of carbon-carbon double bonds) is 16:0.
Acetyl-CoA ( acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. [ 2] Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production. Coenzyme A (CoASH or CoA) consists of a β-mercaptoethylamine group linked ...
Cetrimonium chloride, or cetyltrimethylammonium chloride ( CTAC ), is a topical antiseptic and surfactant. Long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), are generally combined with long-chain fatty alcohols, such as stearyl alcohols, in formulations of hair conditioners and shampoos.
