Royal Jelly acid is an unsaturated fatty acid that can be found in royal jelly produced from the hypopharyngeal and mandibular gland secretions of honeybees. Royal Jelly suppressed both VEGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation and migration. It has also been reported to stimulate the growth of glial cells and neural stem cells. The presence of the hydroxy group in its fatty acid chain is believed to be critical for its functional activities, making it a focal point for research into how such compounds interact with biological systems. Research into Royal Jelly acid and related compounds can offer insights into the chemical ecology of honey bees, including how they communicate, protect the hive, and manage the health and productivity of the colony. Understanding the biochemical pathways involved in the synthesis of Royal Jelly acid in bees might also open up new avenues for the biosynthesis of similar compounds in other organisms or in vitro systems.
