Ethyl all cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosapentaenoate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ethyl icosapentate is an ester of a polyunsaturated acid derived from fish oil. It is reported to decrease platelet aggregation, reduce blood viscosity and increase erythrocyte deformability.

Chemical Properties

Clear Colourless Oil

Originator

Nippon Suisan (Japan)

Uses

Eicosapentaenoic Acid Ethyl Ester is an important polyunsaturated fatty acid of the marine food chain that serves as a precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. It differs from arachidonic acid (the eicosatetraenoic acid that is a precursor for the prostaglandin and thromboxane-2 families) by the extra double bond between the third and fourth carbons from the “methyl end” of the molecule. Antilipemic.

Uses

hypolipidemic

Definition

ChEBI: A long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-icosapentaenoic acid with the hydroxy group of ethan l.
