methyl cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapenta-enoate

Description:
Methyl cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapenta-enoate, commonly known as methyl eicosapentaenoate (MEPA), is an omega-3 fatty acid methyl ester derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 20 carbon atoms and five double bonds, which are in the cis configuration. MEPA is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in cardiovascular health, due to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to lower triglyceride levels. MEPA is often used in dietary supplements and functional foods, as well as in research related to its effects on human health. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity and interactions with biological systems, making it a subject of interest in nutritional biochemistry and pharmacology. As with many fatty acid derivatives, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its stability and efficacy.
