Metabolite Identification
Common NameHomophytanic acid
DescriptionHomophytanic acid, also known as homophytanate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Homophytanic acid.
