A saturated branched-chain fatty acid, 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD), was purified from a soy fermentation product, which was used by many cancer patients as a treatment supplement. Our preliminary study indicated that 13-MTD could induce cell death in human cancer cell lines K-562, MCF7, DU 145, NCI-SNU-1, SNU-423, NCI-H1688, BxPC3, and HCT 116. The ID50 dosage of 13-MTD for these tumor cells ranged from 10 to 25 microg/ml. Further investigation revealed that 13-MTD caused tumor cell… CONTINUE READING
