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. Jacaric acid exhibits anticaner activity against prostate cancer and adenocarcinoma. Jacaric acid exhibits immunomodulating activity in murine peritoneal macrophages as an immunopotentiator. Jacaric acid is orally active.

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.

In Vitro

Jacaric acid (0-10 μM) dose- and time-dependently induces apoptosis in cells PC-3 and LNCaP, through an intrinsic and an intrinsic and extrinsic pathway, respectively[1].
Jacaric acid (0-10 μM) induces cytotoxicity in DLD-1 cells through intracellular incorporation and induction of apoptosis via lipid peroxidation[2].
Jacaric acid (50-100 μM) activates the macrophage through secretion of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-1β and TNF-α, enhances the endocytic activity in murine peritoneal macrophages and induces the cytostatic activity in MBL-2 cells[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
