Description

6,11-Eicosadienoic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with a unique conjugated diene system. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and biochemical research, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and signaling pathways. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries developing novel bioactive compounds and lipid-based formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and other bioactive lipid derivatives with potential therapeutic applications.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and substrate in enzymatic studies, lipidomics research, and investigations into fatty acid metabolism and inflammation pathways.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a precursor for the development of advanced dietary supplements targeting metabolic and inflammatory health.
• Organic Synthesis: Valuable intermediate for creating complex natural products, specialty polymers, and novel surfactants due to its reactive diene functionality.
• Cosmetic Science: Potential ingredient in high-end skincare formulations for its role as a biomimetic lipid, supporting skin barrier function.

Quality Control

Our 6,11-Eicosadienoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with your specified requirements. Our quality commitment supports applications in GLP and cGMP environments.

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 oxidizers.
