Eicosadienoic acid

CAS: 5598-38-9

Overview

Eicosadienoic acid (CAS 5598-38-9 ), also referred to commercially as 11,14-eicosadienoic acid, is a 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid found in select seed oils and animal fats. It functions as a bioactive lipid component and antioxidant stabilizer in formulations across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

In pharmaceutical development, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of lipid-based drug delivery systems and fatty acid reference standards. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into skin-conditioning preparations where its unsaturated fatty acid profile supports emollient and barrier-function formulations.

In food and nutrition, it is used as a reference material or functional lipid ingredient in fatty acid profiling and nutraceutical research. As a stabilizer, it contributes to oxidative stability management in fat-based matrices and specialty oil blends.

Eicosadienoic acid is typically supplied as a neat liquid or dissolved in solvent at defined concentrations, primarily for research and analytical use. Material is available in technical and high-purity grades suited to pharmaceutical intermediate and reference standard applications.

Packaging is commonly offered in small quantities reflecting its use in specialized formulation and analytical workflows. This ensures the integrity of the compound during transport and storage for sensitive laboratory environments.

The compound is manufactured to meet rigorous industry requirements for consistency and purity. This makes it an ideal choice for researchers focusing on lipidomics and the development of advanced nutritional supplements or topical treatments.
