Lauric Acid CAS#143-07-7

Lauric acid, additionally recognized as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, hence falling into the medium chain fatty acids, is a white crystalline carboxylic acid with a faint scent of bay oil or soap. It has been discovered at excessive ranges in coconut oil. Lauric acid induces the activation of NF-κB and the expression of COX-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and IL-1α in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a attention of 25 μM.
