Physiological effects
Ethyl linoleate (ELA) is an essential fatty acid used in many cosmetics for its anti-inflammatory properties.It inhibits the action of the reactive species of oxygen released by neutrophils due to an excess of bacteria, and prevents the hyperkeratinization induced by a lack of linoleic acid.
Uses
Labelled Ethyl Linoleate (E924300). A fatty acid alkyl ester used in the vitamin industry.
Uses
Ethyl linoleate can be used as a drying agent for alkyd paints. It can also form
N2,3-ethenoguanine via reaction with deoxyguanosine.
Uses
ethyl linoleate (vitamin F) is an emollient and an essential fatty acid.
Definition
ChEBI: Ethyl linoleate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of linoleic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is functionally related to a linoleic acid.
General Description
Ethyl linoleate can undergo auto-oxidation in the presence of the catalyst manganese(II)acetylacetonate.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ethyl linoleate solated from Oxalis triangularis inhibits forskolin-induced melanogenesis and tyrosinase activity in mouse B16 melanoma cells . This anti-melanogenic effect is mediated by inhibiting cAMP production.
