9-Hydroxystearic acid (9-HSA) is an endogenous cellular lipid that possesses antiproliferative and selective effects against cancer cells. A series of derivatives were synthesized in order to investigate the effect of the substituent in position 9 and on the methyl ester functionality on the biological activity. The two separate enantiomers of methyl 9-hydroxystearate and of methyl 9-aminostearate showed antiproliferative activity against the HT29 cell line. This indicates the importance of position 9 groups being able to make hydrogen bonding with the molecular target. Further, this effect must be preserved when the carboxy group of 9-HSA is esterified. The biological tests showed that the amines, contrarily to methyl esters, resulted in cytotoxicity. A deep investigation on the effect of methyl ()-9-hydroxystearate on HT29 cells showed an antiproliferative effect acting through the CDKN1A and MYCBP gene expression.

Background: Considering that cardiac microvascular injury may play a more critical role than cardiomyocyte injury in the pathology of early ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, therapeutic strategies targeting the microvasculature are highly desirable. Palmitic acid-9-hydroxystearic acid (9-PAHSA) is a new class of bioactive anti-inflammatory lipids widely distributed in vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants, especially broccoli and apple. However, the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms of 9-PAHSA in protecting- against cardiac microvascular I/R injury have rarely been studied.

Article Synopsis
- Lipid reprogramming is essential for breast cancer tumor growth and identifying potential biomarkers, with a focus on fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) that possess anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Previous research indicated that breast cancer patients have significantly lower levels of several FAHFAs; this study utilized chemical isotope labeling and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze FAHFAs in cancerous and adjacent healthy tissues.
- The analysis identified 13 altered FAHFAs that can effectively differentiate breast cancer tissues, and findings suggest that increased synthesis of specific FAHFAs may help tumors resist cell death, highlighting similarities to colorectal cancer mechanisms.
PKC-δ-dependent mitochondrial ROS attenuation is involved as 9-OAHSA combats lipoapotosis in rat hepatocytes induced by palmitic acid and in Syrian hamsters induced by high-fat high-cholesterol high-fructose diet.

Article Synopsis
- * These FAHFAs show potential cardiovascular benefits, as they are negatively correlated with harmful biomarkers like fasting blood glucose and trimethylamine-oxide (TMAO), while being positively associated with beneficial compounds like l-carnitine.
- * The study also highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of 9-POHSA and 9-OAHSA, suggesting their role in reducing inflammation in cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
Magnetic Nanoparticles Coated with ()-9-Acetoxystearic Acid for Biomedical Applications.

The well-known ability to selectively drive nanomagnetic materials coated with anticancer drugs into tumor cells suggested the synthesis and the characterization of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with ()-9-acetoxystearic acid, the acetic ester of ()-9-hydroxystearic acid (9-HSA), an antiproliferative agent active against different cancer cells. The acyl chloride of ()-9-acetoxystearic acid, synthesized in two steps from 9-HSA, was reacted with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, chosen as a linker between MNPs and the stearyl moiety. In the last step, the novel amide was bound to magnetite NPs by reaction with silyl groups.
