ALL CIS-7,10,13,16,19-DOCOSAPENTAENOIC ACID ETHYL ESTER

Docosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester is a derivative of DPA , an ω-3 fatty acid found in fish oils. Ethyl ester derivatives of fatty acids, including DPA, are often used in formulations designed as dietary supplements.

(All-Z)-7,10,13,16,19-Docosapentaenoic Acid Ethyl Ester is used in analytical studies for the detection of fish oil ethyl ester concentration via gas chromatography. This analog is an ethyl derivative of all-cis-7,10,13,16,19-Docosapentaenoic Acid (D494460) which is a fatty acid that is derived from fish oils which potently inhibits platelet aggregation.

ChEBI: Ethyl (7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosapentaenoate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosapentaenoic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It is functionally related to a (7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosapentaenoic acid.
