Fatty Aldehydes
- Molecular classification
- Lipids, Aldehydes, Organic Compounds
01
Overview
Fatty aldehydes are aliphatic, long-chain aldehydes, either saturated or unsaturated, with carbon chain lengths typically ranging from 6 to 24 carbons. They are structurally derived from fatty acids. They serve as intermediates in lipid metabolism and some oxidized short-chain variants are cytotoxic and implicated in diseases like diabetes, immunological disorders, neurodegeneration, cancer, and age-related conditions.
