6,9,12,15,18-Heneicosapentaenoic acid
Arachidonic Acid Inhibitor
6,9,12,15,18-Heneicosapentaenoic acid is an inhibitor of arachidonic acid synthesis, acting by preventing the conversion of α-linoleic acid into arachidonic acid in hepatoma cells. It effectively inhibits the activation of prostaglandin H synthase and thromboxane synthesis in isolated platelets. Additionally, this compound serves as a weak inducer of acyl-CoA oxidase in hepatoma cells, making it a valuable tool for investigating lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways in biochemical research.
