Safflower seed oil from Carthamus tinctorius seed (CAS 8001-23-8)
QUICK LINKS
Safflower seed oil from Carthamus tinctorius seed functions as a source of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. It acts as a substrate for the production of prostaglandins, which are lipid compounds involved in various cellular processes. The oil′s high linoleic acid content also may be a suitable component for the formulation of cell culture media, where it can support the growth and maintenance of certain cell types. Safflower seed oil can serve as a non-toxic solvent for the extraction of lipids and other compounds from biological samples, allowing for the isolation and analysis of specific cellular components. At the molecular level, the linoleic acid in safflower seed oil can interact with cell membrane phospholipids, influencing membrane fluidity and signaling pathways. This interaction may have implications for the study of cell membrane dynamics and lipid metabolism in experimental models.
