  2. Isopropyl myristate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_myristate

    Isopropyl myristate is also used as a solvent in perfume materials, and in the removal process of prosthetic make-up. Hydrolysis of the ester from isopropyl myristate can liberate the acid and the alcohol. The acid is theorized to be responsible for decreasing of the pH value of formulations.

  3. Myristic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myristic_acid

    Myristic acid (IUPAC name: tetradecanoic acid) is a common saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula CH 3 (CH 2) 12 COOH.Its salts and esters are commonly referred to as myristates or tetradecanoates.

  4. 1-Tetradecanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Tetradecanol

    1-Tetradecanol, or commonly myristyl alcohol (from Myristica fragrans – the nutmeg plant), is a straight-chain saturated fatty alcohol, with the molecular formula CH 3 (CH 2) 12 CH 2 OH. It is a white waxy solid that is practically insoluble in water, soluble in diethyl ether , and slightly soluble in ethanol .

  6. Myristoylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myristoylation

    In 1982, Koiti Titani's lab identified an "N-terminal blocking group" on the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in cows as n-tetradecanoyl. [6]Almost simultaneously in Claude B. Klee's lab, this same N-terminal blocking group was further characterized as myristic acid. [7]

  7. Sodium myreth sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_myreth_sulfate

    Sodium myreth sulfate is very similar to sodium laureth sulfate; the only difference is two more carbons in the fatty alcohol portion of the hydrophobic tail. It is manufactured by ethoxylation (hence the "eth" in "myreth") of myristyl alcohol.

  8. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol...

    12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), also commonly known as tetradecanoylphorbol acetate, tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a diester of phorbol. It is a potent tumor promoter often employed in biomedical research to activate the signal transduction enzyme protein kinase C (PKC).

  9. Propyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propyl_group

    An isomeric form of propyl is obtained by moving the point of attachment from a terminal carbon atom to the central carbon atom, named isopropyl or 1-methylethyl. To maintain four substituents on each carbon atom, one hydrogen atom has to be moved from the middle carbon atom to the carbon atom which served as attachment point in the n -propyl ...
