Description
Ricinoleic acid is a naturally occurring 12-hydroxy fatty acid. It constitutes about 90% of the fatty acids in castor oil. Pyrrolidine ricinoleamide is a derivative of the amide of ricinoleic acid that shows potent antiproliferative activity against an array of cancer cell lines, including human glioma U251 cells.
