Eicosapentaenoic Acid

Eicosapentaenoic Acid - Compound Summary (CID 446284) Also known as: Timnodonic acid, Icosapent, Icosapentaenoic acid, Icosapento, Icosapentum, 5,8,11,14,17-EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID, EPA Molecular Formula: C₂₀H₃₀O₂ Molecular Weight: 302.451 InChIKey: JAZBEHYOTPTENJ-JLNKQSITSA-N Important polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oils. It serves as the precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. A diet rich in eicosapentaenoic acid lowers serum lipid concentration, reduces incidence of cardiovascular disorders, prevents platelet aggregation, and inhibits arachidonic acid conversion into the thromboxane-2 and prostaglandin-2 families.
