Product Information

• Name: 8-Oxononanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 8-Oxononanoic acid is a fatty acid that is found in the human body. It has been shown to have health effects such as decreasing the risk of cancer and lowering the rate of cardiovascular disease. 8-Oxononanoic acid is a coeluting compound, which means that it shares properties with other molecules. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inhibiting tyrosinase, β-glucosidase, and lipid biosynthesis. 8-Oxononanoic acid also inhibits the production of lipids by blocking the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA into malonyl-CoA, which is then used in fatty acid synthesis.
