Description and Uses
2-Aminohexadecanoic acid (CAS# 7769-79-1) is a fatty acid used in the preparation of lipidic amino acids and their homo- and hetero-oligomers, which has potential application in enhancing immunogenicity of synthetic peptides and could address hindrances to drug uptake such as the blood-brain barrier and intra- and extracellular peptidases.
