Bioactivity | 2′-Hydroxy-5′-nitrohexadecanamide is a lysosomal hydrolase inhibitor and is a lipid containing pentadecanoic acid and a terminal nitrophenol in its structure. 2′-Hydroxy-5′-nitrohexadecanamide can cause intracellular lipid accumulation by inhibiting lysosomal hydrolase activity. Additionally, 2′-Hydroxy-5′-nitrohexadecanamide can be used to synthesize chromogenic substrates for measuring sphingolipase activity[1]. |
