13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD) is a saturated branched-chain fatty acid with potent anticancer effects. It induces apoptosis in various human cancer cells, such as bladder cancer and T-cell lymphoma. The pro-apoptotic mechanism is primarily mediated through the mitochondrial pathway, involving the down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax, which leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, cytochrome c release, and subsequent proteolytic activation of caspases. Additionally, 13-MTD down-regulates AKT phosphorylation and activates the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

| Description | 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD) is a saturated branched-chain fatty acid with potent anticancer effects.

Additionally, 13-MTD down-regulates AKT phosphorylation and activates the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). |
| In vitro | 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (0–140 μg/mL) dose- and time-dependently inhibits bladder cancer cell proliferation. At 70 μg/mL, it increases the sub-G1 population from 9.25% to 85.3%. Mechanistically, it disrupts the Bcl-2/Bax balance, activates caspases, suppresses AKT, and activates JNK/p38 signaling to promote apoptosis [1]. |
| In vivo | In vivo, 13-Methyltetradecanoic acid (70 mg/kg/day, oral gavage, 30 days) significantly suppresses tumor growth in a Jurkat lymphoma xenograft model using BALB/C nude mice. Research confirms its effective oral antitumor potency, with a mechanism consistent with the in vitro observations of p-AKT inhibition and Caspase-3 activation [2]. |
