(+-)-9-hydroxy-(5Z,7E,11Z,14Z)-*eicosatetraenoic

Description:

The chemical substance known as "(+-)-9-hydroxy-(5Z,7E,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid," with the CAS number 79495-85-5, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the 9th carbon position, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. The presence of four double bonds in the eicosatetraenoic structure indicates that it is part of the omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acid families, depending on the position of the first double bond from the methyl end. This compound is known to play a role in various physiological processes, including inflammation and cell signaling. Its stereochemistry, indicated by the (±) notation, suggests that it exists as a racemic mixture of enantiomers, which may exhibit different biological activities. Overall, this fatty acid is significant in biochemistry and nutrition, particularly in the context of human health and disease.
