2,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic acid, methyl ester,(2E,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-

Description:

2,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic acid, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 875288-80-5, is a methyl ester derivative of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds, which are in the cis configuration. The presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its fluidity and reactivity, making it an important component in biological membranes and a precursor for various bioactive lipids. As a methyl ester, it is typically more stable and easier to handle than its free acid form, which can be beneficial in various applications, including nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals. The compound is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in cardiovascular health and anti-inflammatory effects. Its unique structure allows it to participate in various biochemical processes, making it a subject of interest in nutritional science and biochemistry.
