Methyl palmitate (PAME), a fatty acid ester of palmitic acid, is a glucose-receptor antagonist. Methyl palmitate acts as a vasodilator and relaits arterioles in the retina during electrical depolarization. In the upper cervical ganglion, methyl palmitate regulates nicotinic receptors. Endogenous methyl palmitate modulates nicotine-receptor mediated signaling in the upper cervical ganglion. PAME activates the Kv7 channel and promotes perivascular adipose tissue.
Application:
Using laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF) experiments, researchers have tested the effects of methyl palmitate on cerebral blood flow and used it as a standard to determine the retention index (RI) of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer.
Methyl palmitate has anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects. Methyl palmitate prevents bleomycin-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in rats by inhibiting NF-κB. Methyl palmitate also prevents CCL4-induced liver fibrosis associated with TGF-β
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. These are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group.
