Eicosapentaenoic Acid Alkyne

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, Cay-90110) is an omega-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms that has been shown to offer anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits. EPA alkyne is a form of EPA with an omega-terminal alkyne. The terminal alkyne group can be used in click chemistry linking reactions to tag EPA with fluorescent or biotinylated labels for analysis of its metabolism and biological activity. Because the alkyne group is at the omega-terminus, this compound can be used to easily tag metabolites and derivatives.Formal Name: 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaen-19-ynoic acid.
