ChEBI: Alpha-linolenic acid is a linolenic acid with cis-double bonds at positions 9, 12 and 15. Shown to have an antithrombotic effect. It has a role as a micronutrient, a nutraceutical and a mouse metabolite. It is an omega-3 fatty acid and a linolenic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an alpha-linolenate and a (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate.

Safety Profile

Mixture with cobalt naphthenateforms explosive peroxides when exposed to air. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating fumes.
