    Product Description

    12-oxo-9(Z)-Dodecenoic acid is an ω-oxoacid and a metabolite of the ω-6 PUFA linoleic acid (Item Nos. 90150 | 90150.1 | 21909) and the ω-3 PUFA α-linolenic acid (Item Nos. 90210 | 21910).1 It is formed from these PUFAs via lipoxygenase-produced 13-hydroperoxy intermediates by hydroperoxide lyase in plants. 12-oxo-9(Z)-Dodecenoic acid (100 µM) is active against the plant pathogenic oomycete P. parasitica.2
