10-Methyloctadecanoic Acid/Methylester (Tuberculostearic acid)
Anderson and Chargaff in 1929 reported the presence of a new saturated fatty acid in lipids extracted from human tubercle bacilli. The compound was named "tuberculostearic acid" and was in subsequent work shown to have the structure 10(R)-methylstearic acid. Biosynthesis of this branched chain fatty takes place from phospholipid-bound oleate, which is methylated to the 10-methylene derivative by S-adenosylmethionine and subsequently reduced by NADPH. Current interest in tuberculostearic acid is focussed on its use as a marker to help diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis. To this end, several methods based on GLC or GC-MS for determination of tuberculostearic acid in e.g. sputum have been developed

10-1869 6(Z),9(Z)-Octadecadienoic acid is an intermediate in the conversion of oleic acid into "Mead acid" (5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid) taking place in animals deficient in essential fatty acids. The compound will undergo autoxidation and is a potential substrate for new lipoxygenases.

14-1802-28 10,13-epoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid
Furan fatty acids (F-acids) constitute a subgroup of the oxylipin family of compounds. F-acids have mainly been isolated form plant sources but can be synthesized chemically from many fatty acid derivatives such as ketones, epoxides and diols. A comprehensive review of F-acids was recently published: Spiteller, G. (2005) Lipids 40, 755-771.
