9-hydroxy Stearic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid and an active metabolite of 9-PAHSA .^1,2It is formed from 9-PAHSA by liver and pancreatic carboxyl ester lipases.²9-hydroxy Stearic acid (5 µM) inhibits histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in HT-29 colon cancer cell lysates.³It inhibits the proliferation of, and induces cell cycle arrest at the G₀/G₁phase in, HT-29 cells when used at a concentration of 100 µM.¹
