Methyl sterculate
Catalog No. A49457

Methyl sterculate is a potent bacterial inhibitor that targets Δ9 desaturase. This compound effectively inhibits the growth of Rhodococcus opacus at a concentration of 0.75 mM, demonstrating toxicity towards the bacteria. Furthermore, it alters the fatty acid profile by decreasing overall fatty acid content while increasing the palmitate ratio and reducing stearate and oleate levels at concentrations of 0.25 or 0.5 mM. Methyl sterculate also exhibits a synergistic effect on tumor growth induced by aflatoxin Q1 in rainbow trout at a concentration of 50 ppm.
