Cetyl myristoleate.
"Cetyl myristoleate ( CMO ) is the common name for cis-9-cetyl
myristoleate, a compound made in the body of humans and certain animals
by the combination of cetyl alcohol and mysristoleic acid. The rational
for the use of CMO is that it may inhibit the production of inflammatory
prostaglandins and leukotrienes. CMO is a natural medium chain fatty
acid found in certain animals, including cows, whales, beavers, and
mice. As a nutritional supplement it is extracted in a highly purified
from beef tallow and then placed in capsules and tablets. CMO is also
available in creams and lotions for topical application.
CMO was discovered in 1972 by Harry W. Diehl, Ph.D., a researcher at
the National Institutes of Health. At the time, Dr. Diehl was
responsible for testing anti-inflammatory drugs on lab animals. In order
for him to test the drugs, he first had to artificially induce arthritis
in the animals by injecting a heat-killed bacterium called Freund's
adjuvant. Dr. Diehl discovered that Swiss albino mice did not get
arthritis after injection of Freund's adjuvant. Eventually, he was able
to determine that cetyl myristoleate CMO was the factor present
naturally in mice that was responsible for this protection. When CMO was
injected into various strains of rats, it offered the same protection
against arthritis. It has been proposed that CMO acts as a joint
"lubricant" and anti-inflammatory agent."
