Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentadecane
DescriptionPentadecane, also known as CH3-[CH2]13-CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, pentadecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. A straight-chain alkane with 15 carbon atoms. Pentadecane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Pentadecane is an alkane and waxy tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Pentadecane has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pepper (c. annuum), papaya, pepper (c. frutescens), green bell peppers, and lemons. This could make pentadecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pentadecane is a potentially toxic compound. Pentadecane, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
