Metabolite Identification
Common Name3D,7D,11D-Phytanic acid
Description3D,7D,11D-Phytanic acid, also known as 3D,7D,11D-phytanate or D,D,D-phytanic acid, 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 3D,7D,11D-Phytanic acid.
