MYRISTOLEIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid. Found in fatof some seeds and in fish oil.

Uses

Myristoleic Acid induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostrate cancer cell LNCaP, and is of a potential for developing an attractive new tool for the treatment of prostrate cancer.

Definition

ChEBI: Myristoleic acid is a tetradecenoic acid in which the double bond is at the 9-10 position and has Z configuration. Myristoleic acid has been isolated from Serenoa repens and has cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, a plant metabolite and an EC 3.1.1.1 (carboxylesterase) inhibitor. It is a tetradecenoic acid and a long-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a myristoleate.
