The present invention provides an aliphatic compound represented by the following formula (I) or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof: where n denotes an integer of 1 to 11, and 1 denotes an integer of 1 to 16, the aliphatic compound being an optical isomer of the (2R,3S,2′S) configuration when the 8-position thereof is a double bond, or an optical isomer of the (2S,3R,2′RS) configuration when the 8-position is a single bond; methods for producing the compound or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof; and uses of the compound in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. arteriosclerosis, cardiac diseases), cancer, rheumatism, diabetic retinopathy, and respiratory diseases.

(2R)-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid and 2-oxo-hexadecanoic acid have been isolated for the first time from marine algae (Ulva pertusa and Porphyra sp.).The two acids were shown to be formed enzymatically from palmitic acid (16:0) using palmitic acid.
