(+/-)-18-HYDROXY-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,16E-EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID

Description:
(+/-)-18-Hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,16E-eicosapentaenoic acid, with CAS number 141110-17-0, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This compound features multiple double bonds in its carbon chain, specifically in the cis configuration, which contributes to its fluidity and reactivity. The presence of the hydroxyl group at the 18th carbon position distinguishes it from its parent compound, potentially influencing its biological activity and interactions within lipid membranes. This fatty acid is of interest in biochemical research due to its potential roles in inflammatory processes and cardiovascular health. It may also serve as a precursor for various bioactive lipids. The compound is typically found in marine sources, particularly in fish oils, and is studied for its implications in nutrition and health. Its structural characteristics, including the specific arrangement of double bonds and the hydroxyl group, are crucial for its function and efficacy in biological systems.
