Docosanoic acid-d4 (Behenic acid-4) is deuterium labeled Docosanoic acid (HY-W013049). Docosanoic acid (Behenic acid) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. Docosanoic acid inhibits the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding activity of p53 DNA binding domain, with a Kd of 12 nM. Docosanoic acid has low bioavailability and can increase cholesterol in humans[1][2][3].

Docosanoic acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of docosanoic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Docosanoic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found in peanut and M. oleifera seed oils.1,2 It inhibits the double-stranded DNA binding activity of p53 through a direct interaction with the DNA binding domain (Kd = 12 nM).3 Docosanoic acid inhibits rat DNA polymerase β and human DNA polymerase Λ activity in cell-free enzyme assays when used at a concentration of 100 μM and inhibits human DNA topoisomerase I and II relaxation activity at a concentration of 25 μM.4 Liver levels of docosanoic acid are reduced in rats fed a high-fat or a high-fat high-cholesterol diet but not a high-cholesterol diet.5 Formulations containing docosanoic acid have been used in hair conditioner and moisturizers.
