4,5-Epoxy docosahexaenoic acid methylester

Description:
4,5-Epoxy docosahexaenoic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 121818-29-9, is a derivative of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid known for its beneficial effects on human health, particularly in cardiovascular and neurological functions. This compound features an epoxy group, which introduces unique reactivity and properties compared to its parent fatty acid. The presence of the methyl ester indicates that the carboxylic acid group of DHA has been esterified, enhancing its solubility in organic solvents and making it more amenable for various applications, including in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The epoxy functionality can participate in further chemical reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, compounds like this are studied for their potential roles in anti-inflammatory processes and cellular signaling. Overall, 4,5-Epoxy docosahexaenoic acid methyl ester represents a significant modification of DHA, contributing to the diverse chemistry and functionality of omega-3 fatty acids.
