12-hydroxy Stearic Acid

12-hydroxy Stearic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid produced by the hydrogenation of ricinoleic acid (Cay-10009369). It is a low molecular weight gelator that self-assembles to form organogels. Administration of paclitaxel (Cay-10461) in 12-hydroxy stearic acid-containing gel nanocarriers enhances tumor growth suppression in an H22 murine hepatocellular carcinoma model. Formulations containing 12-hydroxy stearic acid have been used in cosmetic products as emollients.Formal Name: 12-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid. CAS Number: 106-14-9. Synonyms: 12-HSA, NSC 2385.
