Description

4(5)-EpDPE methyl ester is a derivative of 4(5)-EpDPE which is stable enough to ship and handle routinely. The active free acid can be regenerated from the methyl ester by careful base hydrolysis. 4(5)-EpDPE is a CYP450 metabolite of DHA which can be further metabolized to the diol metabolite.¹ There are no published reports on the biological activity of 4(5)-EpDPE methyl ester at this time.
