Nonadecane

Nonadecanoic acid is a 19-carbon long saturated fatty acid. Nonadecanoic acid is the major constituent of the substance secreted by Rhinotermes marginalis. Nonadecanoic acid can be isolated from several sources, including fungus, plant, and marine sponge. Nonadecanoic acid exhibits inhibitory effects on fibrinolysis and plasmin activity. Nonadecanoic acid produced from Streptomyces is an anti-tumor agent and inhibits IL-12 production[1][2].
