Description

Adrenic Acid is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) of significant biochemical interest, also known as 7,10,13,16-docosatetraenoic acid. This compound serves as a key intermediate in the metabolic pathways of essential fatty acids, particularly in the biosynthesis of other physiologically active lipids. It is primarily utilized in advanced research and development within the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. The material is offered with a focus on high purity and consistency to meet the stringent demands of laboratory and industrial-scale synthesis.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Critical intermediate for studying the metabolism and elongation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in mammalian systems.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used as a reference standard and a building block in the synthesis of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and other bioactive lipid derivatives.
• Nutraceutical Research: Investigated for its potential role and metabolic fate in dietary supplements and functional food formulations.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Employed in lipidomics research to understand cell membrane composition and lipid signaling pathways.
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for quantitative analysis via GC, GC-MS, or HPLC techniques.

Quality Control

Our Adrenic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes results from chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards expected for research and development chemicals, ensuring reliable and reproducible performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, storage at 2-8°C is acceptable. The material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; therefore, handling should minimize exposure to air and ambient light. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
