It is chemically similar to the conjugated linoleic acids; laboratory work suggests it may have similar health benefits.1 Biosynthesis Calendic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid.2 though not usually listed with this group. Calendic acid 8t,10t,12c-18:3 is synthesised in Calendula officinalis from linoleate 9c,12c-18:2 by an unusual Δ12-oleate desaturase a FAD 2 variant that converts the cis-double bond in position 9 to a trans,trans-conjugated double bond system 8t,10t.3 An all-trans beta isomer has been described.1 Uses Calendula flowers have been used for many centuries. Ointments or extracts are applied medicinally for reducing inflammation, wound healing, and as an antiseptic.4 The US National Institute of Health's MedlinePlus states that there is 'B' grade evidence 'good scientific evidence' for the efficacy of topical use of Calendula in protecting the skin of patients undergoing radiation treatments.5 It assigns a 'C' grade Unclear scientific evidence for uses in ear infection, skin inflammation and wound and burn healing. Calendic acid is the fatty acid responsible for the reduction in feed intake and improved feed utilization in mice when calendular oil is added to the feedstuff, as demonstrated by the comparative experiments in the examples using corn oil.6 In vitro, β-calendic acid shows anti-cancer activity against human colon cancer cells.1 References Calendic acid comes from the pot marigold Calendic acid comes from the pot marigold ^ a b c Yasui Y, Hosokawa M, Kohno H, Tanaka T, Miyashita K.
