Description

8(Z),11(Z),14(Z),17(Z),20(Z)-Tricosapentaenoic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with five cis-configured double bonds. This specific structural configuration is critical for advanced research in lipidomics, biochemistry, and the development of novel bioactive compounds. It serves as a valuable reference standard and a key synthetic intermediate for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science applications where precise molecular structure is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard for analytical method development and validation in lipid profiling and metabolomics studies.
• Bioactive Compound Synthesis: A crucial building block for synthesizing specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and other lipid-derived signaling molecules.
• Nutraceutical Standardization: Used to calibrate instruments and quantify ω-3 fatty acid content in complex dietary supplements and functional foods.
• Biochemical Research: Investigation of fatty acid metabolism, membrane fluidity, and the role of specific PUFAs in cellular processes.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Potential ingredient research for advanced skincare formulations targeting inflammation and skin barrier function.
• Academic & Industrial Laboratories: Serves as a high-purity reagent for controlled experiments in chemistry and biology departments.
