Common NameCetyl myristoleate
DescriptionCetyl myristoleate, also known as CMO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as wax monoesters. These are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Cetyl myristoleate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Cetyl myristoleate is a chemical compound which is a type of fatty acid ester or, more specifically, a cetylated fatty acid (CFA). In follow-up studies in mice, a modest anti-inflammatory effect was observed. In animal studies, cetyl myristoleate was first reported to block inflammation and prevent adjuvant-induced arthritis at very high doses in rats. Outside of the human body, Cetyl myristoleate has been detected, but not quantified in, cereals and cereal products. This could make cetyl myristoleate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Cetyl myristoleate has been prepared by an esterification reaction between myristoleic acid and cetyl alcohol, catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. Although cetyl myristoleate is sold as a dietary supplement, its possible benefits in the treatment of any medical condition are largely unknown and the Federal Trade Commission has taken legal action against supplement manufacturers for exaggerated claims. Other studies using identical and similar methods have failed to replicate this effect. There are some clinical trials appearing to show benefit for inflammation due to arthritis which should be taken into account. However, these low-quality clinical trials provide only limited scientific evidence of efficacy. It is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. There is some clinical evidence for the benefits of CFAs, which may contain cetyl myristoleate, in arthritic patients. It was first documented in 2000 (PMID: 11413487). One pilot study found that cetyl myristoleate may be beneficial against fibromyalgia (PMID: 16902246) (PMID: 17374880) (PMID: 20044567).
