Application


  • Purification, characterization, and chemical modification of Bacillus velezensis SN-14 fibrinolytic enzyme.: This study delves into the biochemistry of a fibrinolytic enzyme derived from Bacillus velezensis, detailing how hexyl alcohol is used in its purification process. This enzyme holds potential therapeutic applications for improving blood flow and preventing clot-related diseases (Lu et al., 2021).

  • Enhancing Activity by Supercritical CO2 Mediated Immobilization of Lipase on Mesocellular Foam in Preparation of Hexyl Laurate.: This research demonstrates the use of hexyl alcohol in enzymatic reactions facilitated by supercritical CO2. It underscores the potential of hexyl alcohol in biotechnological applications, particularly in enzyme immobilization for industrial synthesis (Yadav & Varghese, 2020).

The polyhydroxyalkanes 1,6,11,16-hexadecanetetraol (1) and 2,7,12,17-octadecanetetraol (2) were synthesized utilizing the thiophene ring as a scaffold to affix the hydroxyalkyl chains by lithiation of the acidic alpha-hydrogens and subsequent desulfurization. Both compounds exhibited significant anesthetic potency, individually and in additivity

An Escherichia coli strain was engineered to synthesize 1-hexanol from glucose by extending the coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent 1-butanol synthesis reaction sequence catalyzed by exogenous enzymes. The C4-acyl-CoA intermediates were first synthesized via acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (AtoB), 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (Hbd), crotonase (Crt)

Phase behavior, dynamics, and structure of W/O microemulsions of the system aqueous solution/Synperonic 13_6.5/1-hexanol/isooctane were studied, with the goal of determining their effect on Mn-Zn ferrite nanoparticle formation, kinetics and characteristics. Microemulsion structure and dynamics were studied systematically by conductivity
