(±)14(15)-EpEDE

8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid, also known as dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (Cay-90230), is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) produced from gamma-linolenic acid by the action of fatty acid elongases. It can be metabolized by the cyclooxygenase pathway to produce 1-series prostaglandins (PGs) (e.g., PGE1). (±)14(15)-EpEDE is an EpEDE acid formed from 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid. This monoepoxide can be generated from the PUFA, in vitro, by the action of a strong oxidizing agent. Alternatively, this compound may be produced, in vivo, by epoxidation of the PUFA by cytochrome P450 epoxygenases. The biological properties of this compound are poorly understood.Formal Name: (±)13-(3-pentyl-2-oxiranyl)-8Z,11Z-tridecadienoic acid. CAS Number: 351533-80-7.
