Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid methyl ester
Arachidonic Acid Precursor
Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid methyl ester is an n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that serves as a precursor to arachidonic acid and is primarily metabolized to the anti-inflammatory eicosanoid prostaglandin E1 through the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway. This compound exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties, making it valuable in research related to inflammation and cell proliferation. Its applications extend to studies on inflammatory diseases and potential therapeutic interventions.
