Description

Arachidonic Acid Isopropyl Ester is a high-purity ester derivative of the essential ω-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility profile compared to the free acid, making it a critical intermediate in advanced biochemical research and synthesis. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science sectors for developing lipid-based formulations and studying inflammatory pathways.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a key substrate or standard in studies of eicosanoid biosynthesis, lipid metabolism, and cell signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serving as a synthetic precursor for the development of specialized prostanoids and other bioactive lipid mediators.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Potential use in advanced lipid delivery systems due to its modified solubility characteristics.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, GC) for quality control and method validation.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigation into lipid-based skincare formulations for barrier function and topical delivery.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Supplementation in media to study the effects of specific fatty acid esters on cellular function and membrane fluidity.

Quality Control

Our Arachidonic Acid Isopropyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by IR and NMR, purity assessment by HPLC, and verification of critical physical parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep at -20°C or below. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
