Notes: 11(Z),14(Z)-Eicosadienoic acid methyl ester is a more lipid soluble form of the ω-6 C20-2 fatty acid 11(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid (Item No. 90330), a naturally occurring PUFA. 11(Z),14(Z)-Eicosadienoic acid competitively inhibits inosine 5’-monophosphate dehydrogenase (Ki = 3.1 µM) and inhibits the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on neutrophils (Ki = 3.0 µM).{16478,2361} Also, serum levels of eicosadienoic acids negatively correlate with degree of sleep disturbance.{16477} Eicosadienoic acids are converted by desaturases, in vivo, to eicosatrienoic acids, which are potent vasodilators.
