15(S)-HPEPE

Description:
15(S)-HPEPE, or 15(S)-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid, is a bioactive lipid derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid. This compound is characterized by its hydroxyl group at the 15th carbon position, which contributes to its biological activity. It is known to play a role in various physiological processes, including anti-inflammatory responses and modulation of immune functions. As a product of enzymatic conversion, it is involved in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids and can influence cell signaling pathways. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity and interaction with biological membranes, potentially affecting cell function and communication. 15(S)-HPEPE is of interest in research related to cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, and inflammatory diseases, as it may exhibit protective effects against oxidative stress and inflammation. Its study contributes to the understanding of the health benefits associated with omega-3 fatty acids and their derivatives.
