Gene or Protein evidence Treatment of human breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435, with ω-HUA induced apoptotic cell death with increased cleaved caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) levels, and p38 and JNK phosphorylation.
Target pathways Collectively, ω-HUA-induced intracellular ROS generation induced breast cancer cell apoptosis through JNK and p38 signaling pathway activation, resulting in tumor regression.
IC50 NA
Potency The results suggested that ω-HUA is an effective supplement for inhibiting human breast cancer growth.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435
Additional information  ω-Hydroxyundec-9-enoic acid (ω-HUA), a plant secondary metabolite, exhibits anti-fungal activity.
