Punicic acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Punicic acid is a bioactive compound of pomegranate seed oil. Punicic acid is an isomer of conjugated α-linolenic acid and ω-5 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Punicic acid has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and can inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Punicic acid can also reduce the formation of β-amyloid deposits and hyperphosphorylation of tau by increasing the expression of GLUT4 protein and inhibiting the overactivation of calpain, and is used to prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, punicic acid also has breast cancer inhibitor properties that depend on lipid peroxidation and PKC pathways.

Punicic acid (10 μM, 4 min) inhibits TNF-α induced neutrophil ROS overproduction without affecting fMLP or PMA (HY-18739) induced responses[2]. Punicic acid (0-40 μM, 30 min) reduces TNF-α induced p47phox phosphorylation starting from 10 mM concentration[2]. Punicic acid (10 μM, 30 min) inhibits TNF-α induced NADPH oxidase activation[2]. Punicic acid (0-40 μM; 48 h) exhibits a concentration-dependent antiproliferative effect on MDA-ERα7 and MDA-wt cells[4]. Punicic acid (40 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis of MDA-ERα7 and MDA-wt cells and increases the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase. The ability to induce apoptosis of MDA-ERα7 and MDA-wt cells is completely blocked in the presence of 20 μM α-tocotrienol (HY-129459)[4]. Punicic acid (5-80 μM; 48 h) is partially blocked in the presence of BIM (4 μM) on MDA-ERα7 and MDA-wt cells[4].
