5-Hydroxy-6,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid

Description:
5-Hydroxy-6,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid, commonly referred to as HEPE, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the omega-3 family. It is characterized by a long carbon chain, specifically containing 20 carbon atoms and multiple double bonds, which contribute to its fluidity and reactivity. This compound is notable for its potential anti-inflammatory properties and its role in various biological processes, including cell signaling and membrane fluidity. HEPE is derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and is found in certain marine oils, particularly those from fish. Its hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in water compared to other fatty acids, which may influence its biological activity. Research suggests that HEPE may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and could play a role in modulating immune responses. As a chemical entity, it is typically studied in the context of nutrition and pharmacology, with ongoing investigations into its therapeutic potential.
