4,7,9,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoicacid, 11-hydroxy-, (4Z,7Z,9E,13Z,16Z,19Z)-

Description:
4,7,9,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic acid, 11-hydroxy-, (4Z,7Z,9E,13Z,16Z,19Z)-, commonly referred to as a hydroxy derivative of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the 11th carbon position, which influences its chemical reactivity and biological activity. DHA itself is an omega-3 fatty acid, essential for human health, particularly in brain and eye development. The presence of the hydroxyl group can enhance its solubility in polar solvents and may affect its interaction with biological membranes and proteins. This compound is typically found in marine oils and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and role in cardiovascular health. Its structural configuration, indicated by the (4Z,7Z,9E,13Z,16Z,19Z) notation, denotes the specific geometric arrangement of its double bonds, which is crucial for its biological function. Overall, this substance is significant in nutritional biochemistry and pharmacology, with ongoing research into its therapeutic potential.
