Caprylic Acids (Octanoic Acids)

“Caprylic Acids (Octanoic Acids)”

Octanoic Acids (Caprylic Acids)
In lipid science, Caprylic Acid is the common name for an eight-carbon straight-chain saturated medium-chain fatty acid (carboxylic acid) known by the systematic name Octanoic Acid, chemical formula CH₃(CH₂)₆COOH, that includes it's esters, salts, amides, and derivatives known as caprylates (octanoates).
In lipid science, caprylic acids (octanoic acids) is an eight-carbon saturated fatty acid found naturally as a minor constituent in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. *

“Octanamides (Caprylamides)”

Octanamide
In organic chemistry, Octanamide (C₈H₁₇NO) is a carboxamide (amino carbonyl) of octanoic acid (caprylic acid) formed with a eight carbon chain.
Examples and synonyms of octanamide related substances include:

n-Octanamide
Caprylamide

“Caprylates (Octanoates)”

Caprylates
In lipid science, Caprylates (Octanoates) are eight-carbon saturated fatty acids, that are minimally soluble in water.

“Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid or Thiotic Acid)”

Lipoic acid
In our body, Lipoic Acid (Thiotic Acid or Thioctic Acid) also known as vitamin N, is a Sulfur based, fat soluble antioxidant coenzyme, that as a thiophene has a chemical structure similar to biotin, produced in our body, that plays an important role in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fatty acids and protein.
In organic chemistry, as a carboxylic acid, Thioctic Acid (alpha-Lipoic Acid), C₈H₁₄O₂S₂, is an octanoic acid bridged with two sulfurs (a pentanoic acid), that may be biosynthesized by cleavage of linoleic acid and is a coenzyme of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase.
In our body's cell's, Lipoic acid is an essential enzyme cofactor that requires covalent attachment to its cognate proteins to confer biological activity.
The major lipoylated proteins are highly conserved enzymes of central metabolism, the pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes.
Examples of lipoic acid related compounds include:

(R)-lipoic acid
(S)-lipoic acid
lipoyl-AMP
lipoamides
lipoate
lipoyl group
