all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic Acid ethyl ester Usage And Synthesis

Description

all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-DPA 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.

Uses

all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (SFE 24:5) is a derivative of Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). DPA is a fatty acid found in fish oils[1].

Definition

ChEBI: Ethyl (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosapentaenoate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosapentaenoic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It is functionally related to a (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosa-4,7,10,13,16-pentaenoic acid.
