Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexadecyl Benzoic acid
DescriptionHexadecyl Benzoic acid, also known as hexadecyl benzoate or benzoic acid cetyl ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of benzoic acid. Hexadecyl Benzoic acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Hexadecyl Benzoic acid.
