Bioactivity γ-Linolenic Acid methyl ester (Methyl GLA) is an esterified version of γ-Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is an ω-6 fatty acid, serves as melanoma cell proliferation inhibitors. γ-Linolenic Acid methyl ester inhibits ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation and induces apoptosis[1][2][3][4][5].
Invitro γ-Linolenic Acid methyl ester (1-4 μg/mL; 72 h) induces apoptosis in vitro A-549 lung cancer cell lines using SRB assay. However GLA is due to its action at the gene/oncogene level and by altering BCl-2 expression[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line:
