Description

Stearidonic acid ethyl ester (SEA) is a fatty acid that is obtained from the plant species Stearidonia. SEA is a polyunsaturated, omega-3 fatty acid with two double bonds in its acyl chain. SEA has been shown to have anticancer activity and can be used for treatment of prostate cancer. Studies show that SEA inhibits growth of cancer cells in vitro by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and RNA and inducing apoptosis. SEA also has been shown to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells in vivo by inhibiting the production of RNA and DNA, which may be due to its ability to inhibit acyl chain elongation.
