(+/-)14(15)-EPOXY-5Z,8Z,11Z,17Z-EICOSATETRAENOIC ACID

Description:
(+/-)14(15)-Epoxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,17Z-eicosatetraenoic acid, commonly referred to as an epoxy fatty acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by the presence of multiple double bonds and an epoxy group. This compound is derived from eicosatetraenoic acid, which consists of 20 carbon atoms and four cis double bonds. The epoxy group introduces a three-membered cyclic ether structure, which can significantly influence the compound's reactivity and biological activity. This substance is known for its potential role in various biochemical pathways, including those related to inflammation and cell signaling. Its stereochemistry, indicated by the (+/-) designation, suggests the presence of both enantiomers, which may exhibit different biological activities. The compound is of interest in research related to lipid metabolism and the development of bioactive lipids. Due to its structural complexity, it may also serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other bioactive molecules. Overall, its unique characteristics make it a subject of interest in both organic chemistry and biochemistry.
