5-n-Tricosylresorcinolthe is the first cyst lipid. 5-n-Tricosylresorcinolthe has metahydroxyl group which allows it to self-associate forming a staggered-chain conformation in which the polar head groups have heaxagonal symmetry. 5-n-Tricosylresorcinolthe reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage[1][2].
