5,8,10,14-Eicosatetraenoicacid, 12,20-dihydroxy-, (5Z,8Z,10E,12S,14Z)-

Description:
5,8,10,14-Eicosatetraenoic acid, also known as 12,20-dihydroxy- (5Z,8Z,10E,12S,14Z)-, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds. This compound features a total of 20 carbon atoms and four cis double bonds, which contribute to its fluidity and reactivity. The presence of hydroxyl groups at the 12th and 20th positions enhances its polarity and potential for forming hydrogen bonds, influencing its biological activity. This fatty acid is part of the eicosanoid family, which plays crucial roles in various physiological processes, including inflammation and cell signaling. Its structural configuration, particularly the specific stereochemistry denoted by the (5Z,8Z,10E,12S,14Z) notation, is essential for its biological function and interaction with enzymes and receptors. Due to its unique properties, this compound may have applications in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and the development of therapeutic agents targeting inflammatory pathways.
