Description

(9Z,12Z,15Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic Acid 2,3-Bis(Acetyloxy)Propyl Ester is a high-purity, chemically modified derivative of α-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential ω-3 fatty acid. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility profile compared to the parent fatty acid, making it a versatile intermediate for advanced synthesis. It is primarily utilized in the research and development of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and specialty chemicals where precise molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of prodrugs, lipid-based drug delivery systems, and bioactive molecules targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in the formulation of advanced dietary supplements and high-end skincare products for its potential anti-inflammatory and skin-barrier enhancing properties.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a critical reagent and standard in lipidomics research, metabolic studies, and the investigation of lipid signaling pathways.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Employed as a monomer or modifier in the production of biodegradable polymers and resins with tailored properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a protected or activated form of ALA for complex organic synthesis where selective reactivity is needed.
