Avocado (Persea americana Mill.; Lauraceae) seed-derived polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols (PFAs) or polyols (i.e., avocadene and avocadyne) are metabolic modulators that selectively induce apoptosis of leukemia stem cells and reverse pathologies associated with diet-induced obesity.A pilot pharmacokinetic evaluation of an AvoB™ formulation in C57BL/6J mice revealed appreciable accumulation in whole blood and biodistribution in key target tissues. Lastly, incorporation of AvoB™ in SEDDS significantly improved encapsulation of the poorly water-soluble drugs naproxen and curcumin.
