Definition:A fatty amide resulting from the formal condensation of a fatty acid with benzylamine or a substituted (commonly 3-methoxy-) benzylamine. The term originally referred to bioactive and marker compounds isolated from maca (Lepidium meyenii, a herb cultivated for centuries by the indigenous people in the Peruvian Andes as a staple food crop) but is now also used to refer to synthetic analogues.
Synonyms:related_synonym: Formula=C8H3NOR6;   SMILES=C=1(C(=C(C(=C(C1CNC(*)=O)*)*)*)*)*;   macamides
