Linolein Hydroperoxides
Cayman ChemicalLinolein hydroperoxides are a mixture of 132 possible isomers of mono-, di-, and tri-hydroperoxides produced from the autoxidation of trilinolein. Autoxidation of linoleic acid containing triglycerides (for example, trilinolein) in vivo could result in the formation of these hydroperoxides. Unlike…

N-Arachidonyl Maleimide
Cayman ChemicalNAM is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of MAGL or MAGL-like activity in rat cerebellar membranes, exhibiting an IC50 value of 140 nM. Inhibition of MAGL by the sulfhydryl-reactive maleimide group of NAM suggests a critical cysteine residue is present in the substrate-binding site of the enzyme.

HEPC is a truncated analog of phosphatidylcholine with the entire sn-1 substituent deleted, and with a hexadecylthioester in…
-
Docosapentaenoic Acid methyl ester
Cayman ChemicalA more lipid-soluble form of DPA amenable to analysis using gas chromatography; may serve as a prodrug, since it should facilitate uptake of DPA and then be hydrolyzed by esterases to generate the free acid after uptake into cells.
