Description

cis-13,16,19-Docosatrienoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity methyl ester derivative of a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced lipid research and the synthesis of bioactive molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic pathways.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and precursor in the study of ω-3 fatty acid metabolism and signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key building block for the synthesis of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and other lipid-based therapeutic agents.
• Nutritional Science: Employed in the development and analysis of fortified foods, dietary supplements, and infant formula targeting specific fatty acid profiles.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a critical calibration standard for Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) in lipidomics and fatty acid analysis.
• Cosmetic & Dermatology R&D: Investigated for its potential benefits in topical formulations aimed at skin barrier function and anti-inflammatory effects.
