Product Data
Biological target:
Linoleic acid is a common polyunsaturated (PUFA) found in plant-based oils, nuts and seeds.
In vitro activity:
Among them, linoleic acid was found to have the greatest interaction with SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, with its direct binding to the cavity formed by the RNA double helix and protein. Linoleic acid forms hydrophobic interactions with multiple residues, and at the same time forms electrostatic interactions including the hydrogen bond with Lys593 and Asp865. In line with these results, a dose-dependent inhibition of HCoV-OC43 replication in vitro was observed, additionally strengthened by data from in vivo study, which also confirmed anti-inflammatory potential of linoleic acid. Reference: Sci Rep. 2022 Nov 9;12(1):19114. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36352079/
In vivo activity:
To study the effect of linoleic acid on red blood cells and to examine the pathogenesis of hidden blood loss in vivo, this study generated an animal model by injecting linoleic acid into the tail veins of rats. Hidden blood loss occurred when linoleic acid was administered at a concentration of 60 mmol/L; RBC and Hb levels were significantly reduced by 24 h post-injection. These findings suggest that linoleic acid enhances acute red blood cell injury. Hb and RBC began to increase by 72 h, potentially resulting from linoleic acid metabolism.
