Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25702090 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15653672 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1194916 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18998246

Lignoceric Acid (tetracosanoic acid) is a saturated fatty acid with a 24-carbon backbone, that occurs naturally in wood tar, various cerebrosides, and in small amount in most natural fats. In mammals, it is found in cerebrosides and is synthesized during brain development. The deficient peroxisomal oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids, including lignoceric acid, contributes to certain syndromes, including Zellweger cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome and X chromosome-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Lignoceric acid is also a product of lignin production.

Route of Administration: Oral
Human skin fibroblasts were used for activity evaluation. Cell cultures were washed twice with serum-free DMEM F-12 and cultured for another 24 h in DMEM F-12 (supplemented with 1% FBS) medium before treatment with VLCFAs. Varying concentrations (0.5–10 mg/ml) of lignoceric acid (a 24-carbon compound) or cerotic acid (a 26-carbon compound) were added to the cell cultures and cells were further cultured for 48 h. Culture medium containing VLCFAs was changed once after 24 h. of treatment and replaced with fresh culture medium containing the same concentrations of VLCFAs as originally added. NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity was measured in cell homogenates at 37C using lucigenin and NADPH. Enzymic activity of NOX was significantly ( p<0.001) increased in dermal fibroblasts following treatment with lignoceric acid or cerotic acid.
