Product Description: Jacaric acid is a conjugated linolenic acid, which inhibits viability in cells PC-3 (IC50 is 11.8 μM), LNCaP (IC50 is 2.2 μM) and DLD-1, induces apoptosis and necrosis[1]. Jacaric acid exhibits anticaner activity against prostate cancer and adenocarcinoma[2]. Jacaric acid exhibits immunomodulating activity in murine peritoneal macrophages as an immunopotentiator[3]. Jacaric acid is orally active.
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C18H30O2
