- CAS No.: 3029766-02-4
- Formula:C20H32O13
- Molecular Weight:480.46
InChIKey: AHOSNCFDQRRRSJ-KTBDYWGHSA-N
SMILES: CC(O[C@@H]1[C@@H](COC(C)=O)O[C@@H](OC[C@@H]([C@@H](CO)O)O)[C@H]([C@H]1OC(CC)=O)OC(CC)=O)=O
Biological Activity: MEL-A is a glycolipid biosurfactant. MEL-A can be produced from vegetable oils by Pseudozyma yeasts. MEL-A can improve the low-temperature fluidity of biodiesel and hydrocarbon fuels. MEL-A is composed of a mixture of MEL-A isoforms with variable lengths of the fatty acid chain. MEL-A can significantly increases gene transfection by cationic liposomes via membrane fusion[1][2][3][4].
