Description

Methyl Stearidonate CAS NO 73097-00-4 is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester derived from stearidonic acid, a valuable ω-3 fatty acid. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced research and industrial synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop or analyze products containing concentrated ω-3 components.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug formulations and prodrugs targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Nutraceutical Reference Standard: Serves as an analytical standard for the quantification of stearidonic acid (SDA) and its esters in dietary supplements and functional foods.
• Biochemical Research: A key reagent in lipidomics research, metabolic studies, and the investigation of ω-3 fatty acid biochemistry.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and other oleochemical derivatives with unique properties.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Precursor: Utilized in the development of high-end skincare formulations for its potential skin-beneficial properties.
