stearic acid

1. Stearic acid (Cetylacetic acid) can reduce metastatic tumor burden. 2. Stearic acid leads to dramatically reduced visceral fat likely by causing the apoptosis of preadipocytes. 3. Stearic acid and its derivatives have been used as gelators in food and pharmaceutical gel formulations. 4. Stearic acid is a potent phosphatase 1B inhibitor, possibly causing an enhancement in the insulin receptor signaling to stimulate glucose uptake into adipocytes. 5. Stearic acid has the potential to increase dry matter intake and yields of milk and milk components, without affecting conversion of feed to milk, body condition score, or body weight.

3-hydroxy Stearic Acid (3-hydroxystearic acid) is a fatty acid found in Pseudomonas and Mycosphaerella.

9-hydroxy Stearic Acid is a hydroxy fatty acid that is the active metabolite of 9-PAHSA. 9-hydroxy Stearic Acid is formed from 9-PAHSA through carboxyl ester lipase in the liver and pancreas. The 9-hydroxy Stearic Acid (5 μM) was stearic acid, which inhibited the expression of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in the lysate of HT-29 colon cancer cells. 3. When the concentration was 100 μM.1, the proliferation of HT-29 cells was inhibited and cell cycle arrest was induced in G0 g1 phase.

12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid is a low molecular weight organogel that prevents benzo(a)pyrene and squalene peroxide-induced hyperpigmentation in the skin.

Stearamide(Stearic acid amide) is a primary fatty acid amide that is cytotoxic and fish toxic and can be used to increase the properties of nanoparticles.

Methyl stearate (Methyl Octadecanoate) is found in cloves. Antifoaming agent and fermentation nutrient.

2-Hydroxystearic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid found in humans and U. armoricana. It reduces the growth of Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells in vitro when used at a concentration of 100 μM.

Isopropyl stearate is an emollient used in cosmetics and skin care products.

1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine (1,2-DSPE) is a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE or GPEtn). The stearic acid moieties are derived from animal fats, cocoa butter, and sesame oil. Phospholipids are ubiquitous in nature and are key components of the lipid bilayer of cells, as well as being involved in metabolism and signaling.

Nervonic acid (Selacholeic acid) is a long chain unsaturated fatty acid that is enriched in sphingomyelin. It consists of choline, sphingosine, phosphoric acid, and fatty acid. Nervonic acid may enhance the brain functions and prevent demyelination (Chemical Land21). Research shows that there is negative relationship between nervonic acid and obesity-related risk factors. Demyelination in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is associated with an accumulation of very long chain saturated fatty acids stemming from a genetic defect in the peroxisomal beta oxidation system responsible for the chain shortening of these fatty acids. Sphingolipids from post mortem ALD brain have decreased levels of nervonic acid, 24:1(n-9), and increased levels of stearic acid, 18:0.

1-Stearoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains stearic acid at the sn-1 position. 1-Stearoyl-rac-glycerol levels are decreased in tumor tissue in a mouse model of azoxymethane-induced colorectal carcinogenesis. 1-Stearoyl-rac-glycerol has been used in the composition of transfersomes for transdermal delivery of doxorubicin in rats, leading to doxorubicin accumulation in lymph nodes, spleen, and heart.

L-Ascorbic acid 6-stearate, a compound derived from L-ascorbic acid and stearic acid identified in K. coccinea, exhibits antioxidant and anticancer properties. It effectively scavenges DPPH radicals in cell-free assays (IC50 = 3.31 µg/ml). Additionally, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing L-ascorbic acid 6-stearate have been shown to trigger apoptosis in HL-60 promyeloblasts at a concentration of 190 µM. This compound is also incorporated into cosmetic and personal care product formulations due to its beneficial effects.
