Bioactivity α-Linolenic acid, isolated from Perilla frutescens, is an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized by humans. α-Linolenic acid can affect the process of thrombotic through the modulation of PI3K/Akt signaling. α-Linolenic acid possess the anti-arrhythmic properties and is related to cardiovascular disease and cancer[1].
Invitro α-Linolenic acid converses into the longer chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)[1].
