Biological Activity

Description Squalene (Spinacene, Supraene, trans-Squalene), a naturally occurring substance found in plants, animals and humans, is a component of some adjuvants that is added to vaccines to enhance the immune response.
In vitro Squalene is a triterpene that is an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. In vitro experimental evidence indicates that squalene is a highly effective oxygen-scavenging agent and possesses antioxidant properties[1].
In vivo Squalene appears to be critical in reducing free radical oxidative damage to the skin. It can effectively inhibit chemically induced skin tumorigenesis in rodents[1].
Density 0.858 g/mL at 25 °C
