Product Information
- 2-Fluorohexadecanoic Acid
2-Fluoropalmitic acid is a fatty acid that is synthesized from palmitic acid and 2-fluoropropanoic acid. It has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in breast cancer cells. 2-Fluoropalmitic acid inhibits the synthesis of protein, RNA, and DNA by binding to the elongation factor EF2, thereby preventing the formation of polypeptides, ribonucleotides, and deoxyribonucleotides. This inhibition leads to cell death through apoptosis. 2-Fluoropalmitic acid also has an inhibitory effect on epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase activity. This inhibitory effect may be due to its ability to bind to ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1).
