| Bioactivity | Myristoleic acid, a cytotoxic component in the extract from Serenoa repens, induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells[1]. |
| Invitro | Myristoleic acid induces both apoptosis (100 μg/mL, 89.5%) and necrosis (100 μg/mL, 81.8%) in LNCaP cells[1]. Myristoleic acid inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in vitro, especially, at later stages of differentiation[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
