Serenoa repens Extract

Myristoleic acid, a cytotoxic component in the extract from Serenoa repens, induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells.

1-Monomyristin acts as an insecticide, enzyme inhibitor, antibacterial and antifungal agent, with an IC₅₀ of 18 μM against rat FAAH and an IC₅₀ of 32 μM against rat MAGL. 1-Monomyristin inhibits 2-oleoylglycerol hydrolysis via MAGL. 1-Monomyristin suppresses the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Candida albicans. 1-Monomyristin is lethal to brine shrimp. 1-Monomyristin exhibits marginal cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells. 1-Monomyristin is applicable to research related to bacterial infections, fungal infections, renal cancer, prostate adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer.

Myristoleic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Myristoleic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Myristoleic acid, a cytotoxic component in the extract from Serenoa repens, induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells[1].

Serenoa repens polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Serenoa repens.

1-Monomyristin, extracted from Serenoa repens, inhibits the hydrolysis of 2-oleoylglycerol (IC50=32 μM) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity (IC50=18 μM). 1-Monomyristin shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and also antifungal activity against Candida albicans.
