 Use of Erucic acid


Erucic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), is isolated from the seed of Raphanus sativus L. Erucic acid can readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), it has been reported to normalize the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids in the brain. Erucic acid can improve cognitive impairment and be effective against dementia[1].

Summary: Erucic acid (CAS number: 112-86-7) is a white waxy solid with a molecular formula of C22H42O2 and a molecular weight of 338.568. For research-use only, not for medical or clinical usage.
