Notes: 5(Z),14(Z)-Eicosadienoic Acid is a novel ω-6 C20:2 fatty acid. The more common 11(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid competitively inhibits inosine 5’-monophosphate dehydrogenase (Ki = 3.1 µM){16478} and inhibits the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on neutrophils (Ki = 3.0 µM).{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. The physiological effects of 5(Z),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid are unstudied.
