Arachidonic acid

Description:

Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and is a key component of phospholipids in cell membranes. It is classified as an omega-6 fatty acid, characterized by a long carbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and four double bonds, which are positioned at specific intervals along the chain. This structure allows arachidonic acid to be highly flexible and reactive, making it a precursor for various bioactive lipids, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, which are involved in inflammatory responses and other physiological processes. Arachidonic acid is primarily obtained from dietary sources, particularly animal products, and can also be synthesized in the body from linoleic acid. Its presence is vital for maintaining cellular integrity and function, and it is implicated in numerous health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory disorders. Due to its biological significance, arachidonic acid is often studied in the context of nutrition, biochemistry, and pharmacology.

Arachidonic acid - 98%

CAS: 506-32-1

Arachidonic acid is a free fatty acid that has been shown to be a potent activator of the oxidative response in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This activation results in the production of reactive oxygen species, which may contribute to the inflammatory response associated with infectious diseases, bowel disease, and myocardial infarct. Arachidonic acid also binds to the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and activates signal pathways involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Arachidonic acid is metabolized by cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450 enzymes to produce prostaglandins (PGs), leukotrienes (LTs), and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). These metabolites are responsible for many of the biological effects of arachidonic acid.

Arachidonic acid is a fatty acid that is found in the cell membrane of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and also plays a role in the inflammatory response. Arachidonic acid can be converted to prostaglandins, which are involved in many physiological processes such as blood pressure regulation, pain transmission, and inflammation. The production of these compounds is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs work by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. Prostaglandin H2 causes inflammation and pain by stimulating the release of histamine from mast cells and thereby increasing vascular permeability. NSAIDs may also have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting other enzymes such as lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase 2. br>br> Arachidonic acid has been shown to have an effect on bowel disease activity in humans with ulcerative col
