2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-Glucose (2-FG) is a derivative of glucose with anticancer activity.1It inhibits the growth of 143B osteosarcoma cells grown under normoxic and hypoxic conditions when used at concentrations of 6 and 24 mM.
Mead acid, a 20-carbon ω-9 polyunsaturated fatty acid, experiences elevated levels in human plasma under conditions of essential fatty acid deficiency. As 1,25(Z),8(Z),11(Z)-Eicosatrienoic Acid methyl ester (Mead acid methyl ester), it frequently serves as a standard for fatty acid analysis, particularly after fatty acids have been transesterified into methyl esters.
