Description

Eicosapentaenoyl Chloride CAS NO 98770-65-1 is a highly reactive, long-chain ω-3 fatty acid derivative, specifically the acid chloride of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This compound is a critical building block for the synthesis of specialized lipids, pharmaceuticals, and high-value biochemical conjugates. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise chemical modification of EPA for targeted applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent for synthesizing EPA-derived prodrugs, esters, and novel chemical entities for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory therapies.
• Lipid Conjugation: Used to covalently attach the EPA moiety to other molecules like peptides, drugs, or polymers to alter pharmacokinetics and bioactivity.
• Biochemical Research: Essential tool in lipidomics research for creating labeled standards, probes, and derivatives for metabolic pathway studies.
• Nutraceutical Synthesis: Production of specialized EPA esters (e.g., ethyl esters) used in high-purity dietary supplements.
• Advanced Material Production: Monomer for creating functional polymers and surface coatings with bioactive properties.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development and quality control in related industries.

Quality Control

Our Eicosapentaenoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. For long-term stability, storage at freezer temperatures (e.g., -20°C) is recommended. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
