Chemical Structure



(5Z,8Z,14Z)-Eicosatrienoic acid, also known as arachidonic acid, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid with important applications in chemical synthesis. This compound is widely used as a precursor in the production of various bioactive lipid mediators, such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. When incorporated into phospholipids in cell membranes, arachidonic acid can be released by phospholipase enzymes and serve as a substrate for various enzymatic reactions, leading to the synthesis of signaling molecules involved in inflammation, immune response, and other physiological processes. Its ability to modulate various cellular functions makes (5Z,8Z,14Z)-Eicosatrienoic acid a valuable tool in the development of pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and other innovative products in the chemical industry.
