Description

Eicosapentaenoyl Ethanolamide is a bioactive lipid mediator derived from the ω-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This compound matters for its role in modulating inflammatory and metabolic pathways, offering significant potential for advanced research and development. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science research organizations focused on metabolic health, inflammation, and endocannabinoid system signaling.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of novel therapeutics targeting metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and neurological disorders.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: For incorporation into high-end dietary supplements aimed at supporting metabolic health, cardiovascular function, and inflammatory response through endocannabinoid-like activity.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical tool in academic and industrial laboratories to study the endocannabinoid system, lipid signaling pathways, and receptor interactions (e.g., PPARs).
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Exploration in premium skincare formulations for its potential anti-inflammatory and skin-barrier modulating properties.
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and method development in analytical chemistry, particularly in HPLC and LC-MS assays.

Quality Control

Our Eicosapentaenoyl Ethanolamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
