Common NameOctacosanoic acid
DescriptionOctacosanoic acid, also known as Montanic acid is a 28-carbon, long-chain unsaturated fatty acid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Octacosanoic acid exists as a white solid and is a very hydrophobic molecule that is practically insoluble in water. Octacosanoic acid is mainly found in montan wax, beeswax and Chinese wax. Montan wax is a hard wax normally obtained by solvent extraction of certain types of lignite or brown coal. Montan wax is used for making car and shoe polishes, paints, phonograph records, and as a lubricant for molding paper and plastics. About a third of the world’s total production of montan wax is used in car polish. Formerly, montan wax’s main use was making carbon paper. Montanic acid is found in many living organisms, ranging from plants, to insects to mammals. It has even been found in the human brain and several visceral organs (PMID: 2474624 ). In the body, octacosanoic acid is formed from octacosanol via beta-oxidation (PMID: 15847942 ). Octacosanoic acid has also been detected in a number of plants and foods including sugar-cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) wax, chickweed, box-holly, horseradish tree and potato leaves (white, yellow and Irish). Octacosanoic acid has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation that was induced by the addition of agonists to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) of rats, guinea pigs, and healthy human volunteers (PMID: 5099499 ). Octacosanoic acid is one of several acidic compounds found in cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
