    Product Description

    (Z)-9-Hexadecenol is an unsaturated long chain fatty alcohol that has been found in pheromone gland extracts from H. assulta and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It is virucidal against herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) when used at a concentration of 10 mM.2 (Z)-9-Hexadecenol is active against the bacterium S. mutans (MIC = 1.56 μg/ml).3 It decreases flight, upwind, close, landing, and copulatory behavior induced by an H. assulta pheromone blend in male H. assulta moths in a wind tunnel assay.1
