Description

ω-3 Arachidonic acid-d8 contains eight deuterium atoms at the 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 18 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ω-3 arachidonic acid by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. ω-3 Arachidonic acid is a rare polyunsaturated fatty acid found in trace amounts in dietary sources. ω-3 fatty acids are now known to be essential for infant growth and development and to protect against heart disease, thrombosis, hypertension, and inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.1 In human platelet membranes, ω-3 arachidonic acid inhibits arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase with a Ki value of 14 µM. It also inhibits arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase in calf brain extracts with an IC50 value of about 5 µM.2

FAQs

It appears that there is a heterogenous mixture of deuterated species in your deuterated standards; is this normal?

Yes, this is typical of our deuterated products. Our deuterated products contain less than 1 % d0. However, the labeled compounds are not 100% of the deuterated form listed on our product insert. For example, upon analysis of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol-d8 it is expected to see masses associated with the d7, d6, d5 etc.
