Description

Ethyl Docosa-4,8,12,15,19-Pentaenoate is a high-purity ethyl ester of a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced nutritional and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing ω-3 formulations and bioactive lipid compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Nutraceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and assay development in ω-3 supplement manufacturing.
• Biochemical Research: Critical substrate for studying lipid metabolism, cell signaling, and the biochemical functions of very long-chain PUFAs.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: An advanced ingredient for the enrichment of foods with specific, structured lipid profiles.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Incorporated into high-end skincare products for its potential bioactive properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex lipid derivatives and conjugates.
