α-Eleostearic acid (cis-Eleostearic acid), a conjugated linolenic acid, is an apoptosis inducer. α-Eleostearic acid is also a ferroptosis inducer. α-Eleostearic acid exhibits antioxidant and antitumor activity [1] [2] [3] .
α-Eleostearic acid (0-40 μM; 24 h) inhibits the growth of some cancer and fibroblast cell lines, including those of HL60 leukemia and HT29 colon carcinoma

.
α-Eleostearic acid (20 μM; 6 h) induced cellular and nuclear fragmentation, and nucleosomal DNA fragmentation typical of apoptosis in HL60 leukemia cells
[1]
.
α-Eleostearic acid (0.01-100 μM; 72 h) triggers death of MDA-MB-231 cells and this death was suppressed by Fer-1, Deferoxamine, and vitamin E
