Arachidic Acid

Arachidic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid that has been found in peanut butter and anaerobic fungi. It inhibits rabbit neutrophil aggregation induced by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP, Cay-21495) when used at a concentration of 5 µM. Formulations containing arachidic acid have been used as surfactants in the manufacture of soaps and cosmetics.Formal Name: eicosanoic acid. CAS Number: 506-30-9.
