Description

Methyl Arachidonoate (8C,11C,14C,17C) is a high-purity methyl ester derivative of arachidonic acid, a critical polyunsaturated fatty acid. This compound serves as a vital reference standard and synthetic intermediate for research and development in lipid biochemistry and pharmacology. It is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science research sectors requiring precise, well-characterized lipid molecules.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development, calibration, and quantification in lipidomics and metabolomics studies.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of eicosanoids, prostaglandins, and other bioactive lipid mediators for drug discovery.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Employed in media supplementation to study the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on cell signaling, inflammation, and membrane fluidity.
• Nutritional Science: Acts as a precursor or model compound in the research of ω-6 fatty acid metabolism and dietary lipid bioavailability.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as an internal standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for the analysis of complex lipid mixtures.
• Cosmetic R&D: Investigated for potential applications in advanced skincare formulations targeting skin barrier function and inflammatory responses.

Quality Control

Our Methyl Arachidonoate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents to meet the exacting standards of research and industrial applications.

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., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from heat and ignition sources.
