Palmitoleic acid, commonly known as omega-7, is a rare monounsatured fatty acid, which was generally reported to benefit the skin in promoting epithelialisation, and certain gynaecological problems (vaginal mycoses). Until now, sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), a shrub widely found in Europe and Asia, and macadamia nuts have been the principal sources. Palmitoleic acid (PMA) has anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activities. Palmitoleic acid is a gap junction uncoupler.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Palmitoleic acid (16 carbon atoms) was noticed first in 1854 by Hofstädter P.G. in sperm whale oil and named physetoleic acid. In 1906 Bull H. discovered its molecular composition, at the time when Lewkowitsch gave the present name. The structure was established in 1925 by Armstrong E.F. et al.

Sample Use Guides

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study was conducted in 20 patients with UC. A dose of 720 mg/day of Cis-palmitoleic acid was orally administered during 8 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
Endothelium-dependent responses were assessed in myometrial small arteries isolated from pregnant women, using pressure myography. Responses to bradykinin were attenuated in the presence of palmitoleic acid (50 uM).
