Palmitoleyl alcohol, an unsaturated fatty alcohol, emerges prominently in various plant and animal oils, spanning olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil. Its versatile nature extends as a robust antagonist to the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FAS), central to fatty acid biosynthesis. Notably, it showcases efficacy in restraining the proliferation of diverse cancer cells, inclusive of breast cancer, while also boasting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant attributes. Additionally, it plays a role as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2, an enzyme pivotal to phospholipid breakdown. These multifaceted attributes underscore its potential as a valuable candidate within the realms of medicine, nutrition, and research.
