(8E,11E,14E)-icosa-8,11,14-trienoic acid

Description:

(8E,11E,14E)-icosa-8,11,14-trienoic acid, also known as icosatrienoic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and three double bonds located at the 8th, 11th, and 14th positions, all in the trans configuration. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids, which allows it to remain liquid at room temperature. It is typically found in certain plant oils and is of interest in nutritional and biochemical research due to its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. The presence of multiple double bonds makes it susceptible to oxidation, which can affect its stability and shelf life. Additionally, its role in cellular membranes and metabolic processes highlights its importance in biochemistry and nutrition. As a fatty acid, it can be involved in various biochemical pathways, including those related to energy metabolism and signaling.
