Description and Uses

EPA is an ω-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms. It is oxygenated by COX-1 and COX-2 at rates of about 5% and 30%, respectively, compared to arachidonic acid. EPA has been shown to offer protection against coronary heart disease, thrombosis, ischemic brain injury, scaly dermatitis, and some inflammatory diseases.

cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosapentaenoic acid has been used an analytical standard for the synthesis followed by investigation of pharmacological properties of aconitine-derived lipo-alkaloids.
