Monodocosahexaenoin is a useful reagent in the biological study of ferrostatin inhibiting oxidative lipid damage and cell death in disease models.

ChEBI: 1-(all-cis-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaenoyl)-glycerol is a 1-monoglyceride resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 1-all-cis-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaenoic acid with one of the primary hydroxy groups of glycerol. It is functionally related to an all-cis-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaenoic acid.
