    Product Description

    Elaidyl alcohol is a monounsaturated fatty alcohol produced by the hydrogenation of elaidic acid (Item No. 90250).1 It is active against herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) and bacteriophage ϕ6, but not Pseudoalteromonas phage PM2, virions in plaque assays (IC50s = 1.9, 0.4, and >75 µM, respectively).2 Elaidyl alcohol has been used in the formation of bimolecular films to study the effect of unsaturation on model lipid membranes.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
