9(z)pentacosene

9(Z)-Pentacosene is a cuticular hydrocarbon and insect sex hormone.1,2,3 It is found in the cuticle of female F. canicularis flies and is an attractant to males in a trap assay.1 9(Z)-Pentacosene is a contact sex hormone in scarab beetles and locust borers that is more abundant in females than males.2,3 It elicits arrestment, alignment, and mounting by males of both species in mating assays but only elicits copulation by the locust borer. 9(Z)-Pentacosene is also produced by the orchid O. exaltata and by C. cunicularius, a pollinator of O. exaltata.4

9(Z),11(E),13(E)-Octadecatrienoic Acid (α-ESA) is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid commonly found in plant seed oil. This fatty acid accounts for about 60% of the total fatty acid composition of bitter gourd seed oil and about 70% in tung oil. α-ESA is metabolized and converted to conjugated linoleic acid (9Z,11E-CLA) in rats. It has shown potential as a tumor growth suppressor. In colon cancer Caco-2 cells, α-ESA induced apoptosis through up-regulation of GADD45, p53, and PPARγ. In DLD-1 cells supplemented with α-ESA, apoptosis was induced via lipid peroxidation with an EC50 of 20 μM. It also inhibits DNA polymerases and topoisomerases with IC50s ranging from ~5-20 μM for different isoforms of the enzymes.

9(Z),11(E),13(E)-Octadecatrienoic Acid ethyl ester (α-ESA) is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid commonly found in plant seed oil. This fatty acid accounts for about 60% of the total fatty acid composition of bitter gourd seed oil and about 70% in tung oil. α-ESA is metabolized and converted to conjugated linoleic acid (9Z,11E-CLA) in rats. It has shown potential as a tumor growth suppressor. In colon cancer Caco-2 cells, α-ESA induced apoptosis through up-regulation of GADD45, p53, and PPARγ.

It also inhibits DNA polymerases and topoisomerases with IC50s ranging from ~5-20 μM for different isoforms of the enzymes. α-ESA ethyl ester is a neutral, more lipid soluble form of the free acid.

12-oxo-9(Z)-Dodecenoic acid, an ω-oxoacid metabolite derived from the ω-6 PUFA linoleic acid and the ω-3 PUFA α-linolenic acid, is synthesized in plants through the action of lipoxygenase on these PUFAs, forming 13-hydroperoxy intermediates that are subsequently processed by hydroperoxide lyase. This compound exhibits activity (at 100 µM) against the plant pathogenic oomycete P. parasitica.

(±)14(15)-EE-8(Z)-E is a potent vasodilator in bovine coronary arteries.

(9Z)-Tricosene is a pheromone released by insects, including D. melanogaster, M. domestica (house fly), and A. mellifera L. (honey bee). In Drosophila, it induces aggregation behavior and is an oviposition guidance cue for females. Due to its aggregation-inducing activity, it is used as a bait pesticide to attract insects to traps. The mechanism of action in Drosophila is the activation of antennal basiconic Or7a receptors. It is also highly produced by honey bees during the waggle dance, which is a complex communication process used to alert nest-mates of the location and profitability of a food source. When injected into a hive, (9Z)-tricosene induced foraging behavior.

7(Z)-Pentacosene is an unsaturated cuticular hydrocarbon that acts as a contact sex pheromone in fruit flies. In different species and genotypes of Drosophila, it can be found on both males and females. Pentacosene may stimulate copulation either by itself at high concentrations or when combined with other alkenes. Interestingly, the absolute level of pentacosene increases in Drosophila females immediately after copulation.
