Description

Ethyl Arachidonate is a high-purity ethyl ester of arachidonic acid, a key long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). This compound is valued for its role as a biochemical precursor and a stable, bioavailable lipid source in advanced research and formulation. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and life science sectors, particularly for studying eicosanoid pathways and developing specialized lipid-based products.

Application

• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: A critical precursor for the synthesis of eicosanoids, including prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and thromboxanes, for metabolic and inflammatory pathway studies.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Used as a concentrated source of arachidonic acid (ARA) in advanced dietary supplements and functional food products targeting specific metabolic health.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplement: Serves as a defined lipid component in specialized serum-free media to support the growth of certain mammalian cell lines.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for quality control and method validation.
• Lipidomics & Metabolic Studies: A vital reagent in lipidomics research for profiling and quantifying fatty acid esters in biological samples.
• Cosmetic Actives: Incorporated into high-end skincare formulations for its role in skin barrier function and cellular signaling.
