Description:

4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain, containing six double bonds in the cis configuration. This compound is a key component of phospholipids in cell membranes, particularly in neural and retinal tissues, contributing to their structural integrity and fluidity. The specific esterified form described, with a complex structure involving multiple functional groups, suggests it may have applications in biochemistry and pharmacology, potentially serving as a bioactive lipid or a precursor for bioactive molecules. DHA is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is often associated with cardiovascular health benefits. Its presence in dietary sources, particularly in fish oils, highlights its importance in nutrition. The compound's solubility characteristics are influenced by its long hydrophobic carbon chain, while the presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its reactivity and susceptibility to oxidation. Overall, this substance plays a significant role in both biological systems and potential therapeutic applications.
