High impact information on pentadecane

Treatments of eggs with docosane, tetracosane, pentacosane, and eicosane enhanced host egg parasitization, while pentadecane, hexadecane, and nonadecane deterred oviposition [1].
To obtain optimum methylation conditions, several important factors were investigated with pentadecane as the internal standard and a GC inlet temperature of 250 degres C [2].
Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of cuticular hydrocarbons obtained from live queens by SPME revealed consistent differences between the patterns of cuticular hydrocarbons of queens with high versus low rank: only high-ranking queens showed considerable amounts of cuticular pentadecane (n-C15) and heptadecene (n-C17:1) [3].
Studies were performed to examine the effects of 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl pentadecane (pristane) versus 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on the activation of the CAT gene under the regulatory control of viral promoter/enhancer elements transfected into NIH-3T3, CV-1 and COS-7 cells [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of pentadecane

The results of this synthesis revealed that micron size (4 - 8 microm) silica microspheres encapsulating n-pentadecane can be successfully created from acidic solutions ([H+] > or = 1.44 N) by using cationic surfactants as the emulsifiers [5].
