Cetoleic acid is a linear very long-chain fatty acid with 22 carbon atoms and one double bond, in the position 11=12 with cis-configuration.[2] The acid belongs to the Omega-11 group.[3][4]

Cetoleic acid is a positional isomer of erucic acid. There is also an isomer with a Δ11 double bond in the trans-configuration, also present in nature, called cetoelaidic acid.

Natural occurrence

The acid is present in the wax esters of jojoba oil at 15–20% and in avellana oil from the Chilean hazelnut (Gevuina avellana) at about 9–10%.[5] It is also present in the glycerol esters of some fish oils, with the concentration in cod liver oil reaching up to 12%. Cetoleic acid is toxic; its toxic effects are similar to those of erucic acid.[6]

Uses

Cetoleic acid may be used in cardiovascular disease research.[7]

Biologcal activity

Cetoleic acid can promote the synthesis of ALA in human HepG2 cells and EPA in vitro in salmon liver cells, affecting cholesterol levels in rodents[8][9].
