NEW YORK: While eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish, some nuts and seeds, have been known to prevent heart disease and arthritis, a new research, conducted by an Indian origin, has shown that omega-3 fatty by-products can also have anticancer effects.
The new study, conducted by Aditi Das of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, showed that when the human body metabolizes omega-3 fatty acids, it produces a class of molecules called epoxy endocannabinoids. These have anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer.
EDP-EAs have similar properties to cannabinoids found in marijuana – but without the psychotropic effects – and they target the same receptor in the body as cannabis.

"These molecules could solve multiple problems: cancer, inflammation and pain," Das added.
For the study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the team studied the effect of the molecule in mice with osteosarcoma tumors – a cancer of the bones which is not only painful but also difficult to treat.

The results showed that endocannabinoids slowed the growth of tumors and blood vessels, inhibited the migration of cancer cells and caused the death of cancer cells.
The highest concentrations of EDP-EA killed cancer cells, but not as effectively as other chemotherapeutic drugs on the market. But, the compounds slowed tumor growth by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels to provide nutrients to the tumor. They also prevented interactions between cells, and most importantly, they seemed to prevent cancer cells from migrating.
While dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to EDP-EA, for those with cancer, something concentrated and rapid action is needed, said Das.
"It's there that the endocannabinoid epoxy derivatives come into play – you can make a concentrated dose of the most effective compound against cancer, you can also mix it with other drugs. like chemotherapy, "she added.
