Description
α-Linolenic acid ethyl ester-d
5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of α-linolenic acid ethyl ester by GC- or LC-MS. α-Linolenic acid ethyl ester is an esterified form of α-linolenic acid . It increases cyclin E levels and the activity of Cdk2/cyclin E, ERK, and JNK in hepatic stellate cells when used at a concentration of 50 μM.
1 α-Linolenic acid ethyl ester (25 μg/ml) inhibits the growth of
S. mutans,
C. albicans, and
P. gingivalis by 98, 72, and 92%, respectively,
in vitro.
2 It has been found in biodiesel produced from castor oil using ethanol.
3 α-Linolenic acid ethyl ester has been used as a substrate in lipid peroxidation assays for antioxidant activity.
