Product Description: cis-11,14-Eicosadienoic acid methyl ester is a more lipid soluble form of the ω-6 C20-2 fatty acid 11(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid, a naturally occurring PUFA. 11(Z),14(Z)-Eicosadienoic acid competitively inhibits inosine 5’-monophosphate dehydrogenase (Ki=3.1 μM) and inhibits the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on neutrophils (Ki=3.0 μM). Also, serum levels of eicosadienoic acids negatively correlate with degree of sleep disturbance.3 Eicosadienoic acids are converted by desaturases, in vivo, to eicosatrienoic acids, which are potent vasodilators.
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
