Ricinelaidicacid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Ricinelaidic acid, a 12-hydroxy fatty acid，is a leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist with the Ki of 2 μM in porcine neutrophil membranes. Ricinelaidic acid inhibits chemotaxis and calcium flux induced by LTB4 in isolated human neutrophils (IC50=10 and 7 μM, respectively). Ricinelaidic acid inhibits bronchoconstriction induced by LTB4 in rats[1].

Definition

ChEBI: A straight-chain, 18:1, long-chain fatty acid having a trans- double bond at position 9 and an R-oriented hydroxy group at position 12.
