Product Data Sheet
Heneicosane
Catalog No. A28461
Heneicosane functions as a royal-specific pheromone in insects, notably influencing the identification and social structure of subterranean termites. It mediates royal recognition and supports the maintenance of social division of labor by eliciting vibration and antennal responses in worker ants. Additionally, Heneicosane exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties through the inhibition of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and cytokines. It also shows potential in inhibiting mycelial growth and aflatoxin production by fungi. This compound is valuable in the study of insect chemical ecology and offers prospects for the development of new anti-inflammatory therapeutics.
