Pentadecane

Pentadecane is a floral volatile antimalarial agent that can inhibit the growth of parasites such as Leishmania and avoid infection of macrophages. The IC50s of Pentadecane against promastigotes and amastigotes are 65.3 μM and 60.5 μM, respectively. Pentadecane also has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities[1][2].
