Product Information

• Name: Sodium linoleate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sodium linoleate is a model system for studying the effect of radiation on tumorigenesis. Sodium linoleate is used to study the relationship between light exposure and cancer. It has been shown to inhibit Cox-2 expression in carcinoma cell lines, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cox-2 activity by preventing the production of prostaglandins E2 (PGE2). The increased levels of PGE2 can lead to an increase in inflammation and cancer growth. Sodium linoleate has also been shown to have a synergic effect with sodium carbonate in inhibiting tumour growth, which is due to the inhibition of nuclear DNA transcription and protein synthesis.
