Pentadecanoic acid exerts cytotoxicity in MCF-7/SC and MCF-7 cells. Comparison of cytotoxic effects in MCF-7/SC and MCF-7 cells following 48 h of incubation. (a) Unsaturated fatty acids: oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2). (b) Odd-chain fatty acids: pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (C17:0). (c) Effects of pentadecanoic acid and heptadecanoic acid on MCF-10A cell proliferation after 48 h of incubation. (d) Time-dependent (24 and 48 h) cytotoxic effects of pentadecanoic acid in MCF-7/SC. Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three biologically independent experiments. * p < 0.05 vs. control.
