Product Description
13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD), a saturated branched-chain fatty acid with potent anti-cancer activities. 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid causes apoptosis in a variety of types of human cancer/tumor cells.
LeDSF3, also known as 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD), is a saturated branched-chain fatty acid with potent anti-cancer activities. It has a molecular weight of 242.4 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₃₀O₂. LeDSF3 causes apoptosis in a variety of types of human cancer and tumor cells. It down-regulates p-AKT and activates caspase-3. The compound also functions as a regulator of the biosynthesis of the antifungal polycyclic tetramate macrolactam HSAF in Lysobacter enzymogenes, giving it antifungal properties. It is a white to off-white solid powder with a density of 0.894 g/cm³.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
LeDSF3 targets the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, down-regulating phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT). By inhibiting AKT phosphorylation, it promotes apoptosis through the activation of caspase-3. The compound's anti-cancer activity is mediated through the induction of apoptosis in various human cancer and tumor cell types. In addition to its anti-cancer activity, LeDSF3 regulates the biosynthesis of the antifungal compound HSAF in Lysobacter enzymogenes, suggesting it may also interact with bacterial regulatory pathways.
ln Vitro
13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD; 0-140 μg/mL; 12-24 hours) induces apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells, inhibiting their viability and growth [1]. When cells were treated with 70 μg/mL with 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD) for two to four days, there was a notable increase in the amount of sub-G1 DNA content in a time-dependent manner. Within 48 hours, the proportion of sub-G1 DNA content increased from 9.25% to 85.3%[1]. Lowering Bcl-2 and increasing Bax, 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD; 70 μg/mL; 2–24 hours) does both. This encourages malfunction of the mitochondria, which releases cytochrome c into the cytoplasm and triggers the proteolytic activation of caspases. 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid stimulates the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) while downregulating the phosphorylation of AKT [1].
In vitro, LeDSF3 causes apoptosis in a variety of types of human cancer and tumor cells. It down-regulates p-AKT and activates caspase-3, indicating the induction of the apoptotic pathway. The compound's anti-cancer activity is confirmed through cell viability and apoptosis assays in various cancer cell lines. It also functions as a regulator of HSAF biosynthesis in Lysobacter enzymogenes, demonstrating antifungal properties. Detailed IC₅₀ values for cell growth inhibition are not extensively reported in the available literature.
ln Vivo
In xenograft models, 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD; 70 mg/kg/day; oral gavage; daily; for 30 days) suppresses tumor growth considerably [2].
Detailed in vivo activity data for LeDSF3 are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a fatty acid with anti-cancer activities, it is expected to have potential for in vivo efficacy in tumor models. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis through p-AKT down-regulation and caspase-3 activation suggests it could be effective in inhibiting tumor growth in vivo. However, specific in vivo efficacy data from animal studies are not provided in the available sources.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for LeDSF3 are not typical, as its mechanism involves modulation of cellular signaling pathways rather than direct enzyme inhibition. However, AKT kinase activity assays could be performed using purified AKT enzyme to assess direct inhibition. The compound's effects on caspase-3 activation could be measured in cell-free systems using fluorogenic caspase substrates. For its antifungal regulatory activity, bacterial culture assays would be more appropriate.

Cellular assays for LeDSF3 are performed using various human cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations for specified durations. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo. Apoptosis is evaluated using Annexin V/PI staining, caspase-3 activity assays, and Western blotting for cleaved PARP and activated caspase-3. AKT phosphorylation (p-AKT) and total AKT levels are measured by Western blotting to confirm down-regulation of p-AKT.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: BALB/C nude mice injected with Jurkat lymphoma cells [2]
Doses: 70 mg/kg/day
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); daily; 30-day
Experimental Results: Effectively inhibited the growth of xenograft models in vivo.
In vivo animal models for LeDSF3 would be required to assess its therapeutic potential. Based on its mechanism as an inducer of apoptosis through p-AKT down-regulation, relevant models could include xenograft studies in immunodeficient mice bearing human cancer cell lines. The compound would be administered via appropriate routes (e.g., oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection) at various doses. Tumor growth inhibition would be monitored over time. Pharmacodynamic markers such as p-AKT levels and caspase-3 activation in tumor tissues would be assessed.

Additional Infomation
Isopentadecanoic acid (13-methyltetradecanoic acid) is a branched-chain saturated fatty acid formed by replacing the methyl group at the 13-position of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid). It is a long-chain fatty acid, a branched-chain saturated fatty acid, and a methyl-branched-chain fatty acid; it is also the conjugate acid of isopentadecanoic acid. 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid has been reported to exist in Streptomyces manipurensis, Chondrosia reniformis, and other organisms with relevant data.
