Docosanoic acid 是一种较难吸收的饱和脂肪酸，能提高人类胆固醇水平。

Docosanoic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found in peanut and M. oleifera seed oils.

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[1].?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[2].?Formulations containing docosanoic acid have been used in hair conditioner and moisturizers.
